Alcohol Abuse
If you are abusing alcohol then that will also have a negative impact on your memory. Your liver works hard to process the alcohol and filter out the toxins, but toxins eventually get leftover in your blood and will end up having an effect on your brain. If you are struggling to stop drinking and need help, then strongly consider the 12-step program.
Therefore, Alzheimer’s is not the only condition that affects memory as you can see. If you are struggling with any of these issues (or suspect you have one of the conditions listed), then get medical help as soon as you can.
