TL;DR
Addictive drinkers show substantially greater ability to report details of their first drinking experience than do matched controls interviewed under blind conditions, and this difference in recall may be the consequence of a difference in limbic response to challenge with alcohol.
Abstract
Addictive drinkers show substantially greater ability to report details of their first drinking experience than do matched controls interviewed under blind conditions. The hypothesis is advanced that this difference in recall may be the consequence of a difference in limbic response to challenge with alcohol, and thus provide an anatomic focus for investigation. The difference in recall may also permit the identification of a group at risk to alcoholism.

ScienceAlcohol and Recall: State-Dependent Effects in Man

Alcohol appears to produce "dissociated" or state-dependent effects in man, but not all forms of memory are equally sensitive to the phenomenon.

A continuum is hypothesized between the memory deficits in cocktail-party drinking, alcohol amnesia, and immediate and remote memory.

The data indicate that patients with ICSS will stimulate regions of the brain at a high frequency for reasons other than to obtain a pleasurable response.
ScienceFacilitation of Brain Self-Stimulation by Central Administration of Norepinephrine
158 Citations1969C. David Wise, Larry Stein
Rats with electrodes implanted in the medial forebrain bundle stimulated their own brains at sharply reduced rates after systemic administration of disulfiram or intraventricular administration of diethyldithiocarbamate, and the suppressed behavior was reinstated by intra ventricular injections of 1-norepinephrine, but not by injection of its biologically inactive isomer, d-norpinephrine.

155 Citations1969Donald W. Goodwin, J. BRUCE CRANE +1 more
This study revealed that more than one-third of the subjects had never experienced a blackout, and that, among those who did report the experience, blackouts generally began well along in the course of alcoholism rather than at an early stage.

127 Citations1969Donald W. Goodwin, J. BRUCE CRANE +1 more
“Blackout”, a confusing term sometimes denoting amnesia and at other times unconsciousness, has come in the alcoholism literature to designate memory loss associated with drinking alcohol.
NatureLoss of Short Term Memory as a Predictor of the Alcoholic “Blackout”

Memory must be observed systematically during drinking periods followed by amnesia, which heretofore has not been done, to confirm that the amnesia is retrograde.

Results showed that the span of retention for Korsakoff patients deteriorated significantly faster than either of the two non-brain-damaged groups for materials consisting of either CCC's, one-word or three-words.

The possibility of simultaneous mutations in two men in contact seems highly unlikely, but more recent theories which stress the origin of language through gesture face exactly the same paradox.

Degree of intoxication does not reliably predict the onset of the profound memory loss described as the alcoholic blackout and comparable reports of hours or days of amnesia are a less prominent feature of heroin and barbiturate intoxication.
