(#18) Your Hippocampus Shuts Down
The hippocampus is the emotional center of your brain, and when you fill it with booze, it completely shuts down. This can have varied effects ranging from memory loss to a loss of motor functions.(#7) Drain Bamage
It's a well-known fact that drinking to excess can cause brain damage, but it's worth repeating that if you're getting wasted on the regular you can experience everything from slips in memory to permanent and debilitating conditions that require lifetime custodial care.(#16) You Lose Your Mind
Literally! To put it as non-scientifically as possible, you keep doing stuff even though the receptors in your brain that help you make decisions have shut down. That's probably why you made the decision to take a $200 Uber ride home.(#8) You Get Violent
No surprises here: if you're someone who's suppressing your volcanic anger on a day-to-day basis, then you're probably going to be a violent drunk when you black out. A study in Norway found that individuals who held in their anger were 10% more likely to get drunk and 5% more likely to get violent.(#14) If You Didn't Already Have an Ulcer, You Do Now
If you're experiencing multiple alcohol-related black outs, then there's a good chance that your stomach is releasing excessive amounts of stomach acid which causes inflammation, leading to an ulcer. The ulcer can do anything from fill your stomach with blood to burn a hole in your stomach lining.(#5) You Might Start Sleepwalking
When you're black-out drunk you may feel you are sleepwalking already, but even after you get in bed, you won't sleep normally. Some drinkers experience a sensation similar to sleepwalking after they've ingested too much alcohol.

People who black out are more likely to be injured. Even if they know how to go home or have other normal behaviors, they cannot remember these actions because their brains will not transfer these experiences to memory.
