Check out this article from today's MSN Health and Fitness, titled as "10 mysteries of the mind revealed". An interesting read, this article will tell some answers of following mysteries about our mind:
- How a memory is made ?
- How alcohol affects your memory ?
- Why you can't remember being born ?
- How memory stacks up to an iMac ?
- How testosterone can help you remember ?
- What amnesia is all about ?
- Why you never forget how to ride a bike ?
- Why hypnotism works—sometimes ?
- Why you lose your keys ?
- How to preserve your memory ?
Most interesting is the answer to Question No.2 :- "When you encode memories while in a specific state, like being drunk, you're more likely to remember them when you're again in that state," says Jonathan Schooler, Ph.D., an assistant professor of psychology at the University of British Columbia.
So, if you got drunk and did something which you dont remember, then get drunk again and try to remember. So, next time, when you plan to get drunk, you have got a good reason to do so. Ok, time is up, I dont remember what I did yesterday evening..lemme get back to my beer. :)

hey u know...even aroma therepy can be used that way where memories can be associated with certain smells......
Is that the reason why I'm forgetful 2 hours of my daily waking time? Now my marathon drinking is justified.
