Alcohol and drugs can change how you remember (or don't remember) things from the night before, especially hallucinogenics which can massively alter your perception of what's happening around you.
It would be interesting to compare events between a sober and intoxication person, or an intoxicated person at the time and then again when they were sober.
If I could tolerate it, could also stay sober while a friend (friends) are intoxicated and see what they think is going on compare to what's happening.
If it was PC to ask someone to take hallucinogenics while I document it, Id love to create some photos based on it.
I could 'experiment' by getting drunk with friends and see how my ability to take photos changes through the night? or set up tasks beforehand to complete throughout the night?
Could see how much I remember through the night then again with the assistance of the photo?
I found this article:
How Can Drugs and Alcohol Affect My Memory?
Everyone enjoys a nice glass of wine every now and then, and sometimes, when we have difficulty sleeping, we’ll take a over-the-counter sleeping aide in order to get a good night’s rest. But for some of us, if our drug or alcohol use because heavy, our memory will continually fail us if the problem is not controlled.
Certain over-the-counter and prescription drugs, as well asrecreational drugs, can cause us to have more memory lapses and make more memory-related mistakes over time. Heavy users of alcohol, according to studies conducted by the University of Westminster in the United Kingdom, made 25% more mistakes on a memory-recall test than those who drank sporadically or not at all.
Alcohol has a debilitating effect on one’s memory. If you’ve ever forgotten what happened after a night out on the town where the drinks were flowing, you may have experienced what’s called a brownout. This is when you can somewhat recall events from the past. Blackouts are when someone cannot recall any memories whatsoever, and never will. A more serious instance is alcohol dementia, which can occur during times of excessive drinking and is typically seen in alcoholics.
Drugs like cocaine and marijuana have been shown to damage brain cells, which can affect one’s memory as well. Recreational drugs have always been considered something to avoid for one’s own health and well-being, and memory loss is just another reason one can add to the list.
If you want to keep your memory intact and your brain sharp for years to come, it’s a good job to keep an eye out on the amount of alcohol you consume, and fully understand the side effects of any over-the-counter or prescription drugs that you are taking on a regular basis.
