drunken memory loss just before period, is this common?

[pattymc]

does anyone else find they get more drunk before their period and lose their memory? I also have period pains and never used to before baby

my tolerance for alcohol gets much lower as every year passes
but I haven't noticed a monthly difference, except that I want to have more of everything - more sugar, more carbs, more wine - so maybe you drank more than usual?

i think it os quite common

I asked my mum to go to Lloyds tsb for me and she stood in a queue for 20 mins b4 being turned away.
Why you ask? I am not even in lloyds tsb, and have not been for 2 years. This was at time of month. I am loony this month!!!

OMG..thought this was just me that noticed this. I do feel that I get drunk much much quicker when I am due my period and thus if I drink the same amount as any other time..i do suffer memory loss. How strange and will watch this thread with interest. Due on tomorrow and going out tonight so could be another trial!!!! Have decided going to drink V little

absolutely

so glad i found this thread - i told my dh that this happened to me several years ago, he thought i was just becoming a bit nuttier then usual

it is nice to know that im not alone

btw - if i drink too much at the wrong time of the month i can also become quite nasty am usually a very merry drunk

god, this post makes me sound a right boozer!

I used to work with a lady who had terrible memory loss and erratic behaviour just before and during her periods.
GP suggested she take a Magnesium supplement and it cured her totally!
Health shops/chemists sell them, but you must take every day.
Hope that helps

Bldy hell. This explains so many unfortunate nights out for me .
