Style issue[edit]

Let me just mention that standard Wikipedia style is that in section titles only the first word should be capitalized, unless a word belongs to a proper name. The same applies to article titles -- I'm going to move this article to a different title, but will leave the section titles for you guys. Looie496 (talk) 00:44, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Modification of first section[edit]

In order to include more specific molecular information, I have altered the first section of this page. I have changed the "Mode of action" section (with the subsections of "Neurochemistry" and "Neurophysiology") to have three new subsections. This modification allowed me to keep all the previous information, add in more specifics, and maintain a sense of flow. Yevangelina (talk) 23:37, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Hangover[edit]

I think this should be removed from the examples since the memory impairment was mostly the result of another drug besides the alcohol. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.125.197.108 (talk) 22:14, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It is not always clear whether the effects are long-term or not.[edit]

While there is good distinction between long-term memory and short-term memory - in my opinion it's is not quite clear from the article whether the effects them self are long-term or short-term. Namely: does one cured overtime from these damages?

(For example the section "Long-term memory")

Or did I misunderstand something? Thanks--109.64.116.78 (talk) 08:25, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
