Your braincells die.

because they have less water in their body, drink as much water as you can ! water water!"

alcohol is actually a poison to your body and you black out because you loose oxygen flow to the brain so basically you starve your brain

Something with the brain.

Short circuit.

too much alcohol. alcohol numbs the brain and it promotes memory loss. Black outs are scary and can be repititious and cause severe damage to lives..

alcohol kills brain cells and the only way to come back is to wait it out. until then, the alcohol is still in the blood stream and killing brain cells. but if you wake up in the middle of some field, you might want to take a drug test for like ecstasy or GHB

Alcohol primarily interferes with the ability to form new long–term memories, leaving intact previously established long–term memories and the ability to keep new information active in memory for brief periods. As the amount of alcohol consumed increases, so does the magnitude of the memory impairments. Large amounts of alcohol, particularly if consumed rapidly, can produce partial (i.e., fragmentary) or complete (i.e., en bloc) blackouts, which are periods of memory loss for events that transpired while a person was drinking. Blackouts are much more common among social drinkers—including college drinkers—than was previously assumed, and have been found to encompass events ranging from conversations to intercourse. Mechanisms underlying alcohol–induced memory impairments include disruption of activity in the hippocampus, a brain region that plays a central role in the formation of new auotbiographical memories

I'm not sure why (exactly), but this is definately a sign of alcoholism.
