Does alcohol really make you forget

I used to like this girl a lot... when she picked some other douche instead of me I felt like this

However, after time, I'm starting to forget everything about her. And I think it might be because I have been drinking heavilly. I used to be addicted to spice, and that wiped a LOT of my memory.
but I cured myself of that addiction... no rehab, no counselling... nothing... it was all by myself. I even cut drinking all by myself.

Did I achieve the purpose I began drinking for? To forget her? I'm not sure if it was the booze or the time.

I was more asking in general. Could alcohol be a good solution for forgetting a past love

I don't think so, it will only help to supress it, and because its bubbling within the subconsciousness, it will always need some thing to keep it there, and so you have an alcoholic, or drug addict. I feel that its best to deal with the situation, and try to work out why you are so obsessed with this person, is it insecurity, is it because someone in your life when young threatened to leave you, and because of this you see all relationships as a threat that you need to try to keep together.

I once drank alcohol to mask my pain, but when I faced all my pain and dealt with it, I didn't needed alcohol, I still enjoy alcohol, but I don't need it to mask my pain anymore, I just enjoy it for what it is, in fact I make my own, beer, and sprits, its a great hobby.

I used to drink for that reason too, but I found a way to stop. I believe it was spiritual. However, I have so little memory. It might have been one of the many powerful experiances I had with psychedelics or the formation of my religious beliefs... but hey, I don't remember.
I could imagine making beer would be fun... not sure if I could make alcohol like that. I don't really have what one would call "refined tastes"
Colt 45 and Old E are good enough for me.

Yea, its not the alcohol, its the one drinking it, just like you can drink too much coffee.

I am a big fan of Thompson. And while drugs may have fueled some crazy adventures and stories that have become classics of literature, ultimately he committed suicide.

Sure, but it's sort of like Jerry Garcia.
His hard drug addiction ruined him. His acid brought him to great heights and benefitted him musically... like the Beatles. Hell, before they went psychedelic rock, the Beatles sucked.
Screw pre-Rubber Soul Beatles music.

My point is that you can't blame all of a persons drugs for he negative aspects of ones life if there are many more factors that are clearly worse.

There are lots of things that cause emotional pain, so it's best to deal with the pain naturally - otherwise you become dependent on alcohol or whatever. Everybody is different. I drank socially for about 15 years, but then I started drinking to deal with stress and depression. It became a problem, and it was hard to stop. Yuck. But everybody is different. I don't have very much self discipline. (Sorry to be preachy :) )

Masking your troubles doesn't help. Drugs can offer some temporary relief, but eventually you have to face and deal with your problems, and hiding in a drug induced haze will not do that. But turning to drugs as a coping method does work well for sending someone down a path of addiction, abuse, and destruction. If fewer people relied on them as a coping method, then we probably wouldn't be so scared of them because we wouldn't see the problems of addiction as often.

It doesn't matter if you turn it or not, it will not help, it will feel that it helps, but in the long run, what you are trying to suppress, is still there, and it will continue to raise its ugly head.

Part of that is the drug itself.
Some drugs should just never be done and why you do them is irrelevant. A lot of drugs practically guarantee addiction. So whether it's to cure pain or out of curiousity it doesn't matter

I love it when I'm drunk and in a good mood. I feel invincible and get all horny. When I'm like that, I want to feel like that all the time. But then you have to come back down. :(

I rarely get hangovers, I did at first. But I drank enough to where either I don't get it, or I'm so used to it that I don't notice it.
