Answer:

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the consequences of drinking high doses of alcohol is that you can experience blackouts that is when you are conscious and you are able to talk but can't create new memories which means that you can't remember anything later. This happens because the alcohol can affect the link between the long term and short term memory causing a memory lost.
