    Lots of downsides to drinking, but happy hour may let your mind store memories.

    Then how does that explain the fact I can't remember anything after 7:30 last night?

        Some may drink to remember, but most drink to forget. :sigh:

                  My reference was from an even earlier cult film [A Clockwork Orange (film) - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A\_Clockwork\_Orange\_(film)) where the poison of the time was a white concoction that looked like a glass of milk and was called Moloko (spelling may be wrong).

                      I think they're basing this off the fact that most people remember when they started drinking. Just not when they stopped.
