Alcohol often makes one forgetful due to its high toxicity but not according to a research by the University of Exeter. According to a research by the university, drinking alcohol can help in boosting one's memory. The team of researchers found that people who drink alcohol after studying are better at recalling information than those who do not consume alcohol. They were given a word learning task. "The theory is that the hippocampus - the brain area really important in memory - switches to 'consolidating' memories, transferring from short into longer-term memory."
