Male alcoholic inpatients with a high incidence of memory blackouts did not differ on several memory measures from subjects with a low incidence of blackouts. Alcoholism chronicity also did not differentiate between subjects on the Wechsler Memory Scale, tests of storage and decay of a memory trace, and maintenance of a concept along a temporal continuum. A history of blackouts was, however, related to drinking pattern. High-incidence subjects reported a significantly greater frequency of drinking to intoxication or until falling asleep, craving a drink, and increased tolerance to alcohol.
记忆缺失发生率高的男性酒精中毒住院患者在几项记忆测试中与记忆缺失发生率低的受试者没有差异。在韦氏记忆量表、记忆痕迹的存储和衰退测试以及概念在时间连续体上的维持方面，酒精中毒的病程也没有区分受试者。然而，记忆缺失史与饮酒模式有关。高发生率受试者报告称，为了喝醉或一直喝到睡着、渴望饮酒以及对酒精耐受性增加的饮酒频率显著更高。
