What causes chemical impairment to affect memory?

[DragonClaw]

How can people be drunk, high etc to the point of not remembering what they did? How does that work?

Even if they're not passed out, there's a point at which they lose all/part of memory.

What causes this and why?

Speaking as a former sailor, the only question I can answer is the how part. The answer is practice...lots and lots of practice.
