Are you too young to be forgetful about certain things that only older adults worry about? You walk into a room and immediately forget what you were looking for. You’re out with friends or at the grocery store, only to realize that you forgot your wallet in the other purse…again. After you leave the house and have been on the road for 10-15 minutes, you have to go all the way back home to get something you left behind. Occasionally, this would be normal, but if it happens all the time and you find yourself unable to concentrate on tasks or remember passwords to frequently used accounts, you could chalk it up to being scatterbrained, but if alcohol consumption or drug use is also part of your daily routine, you may be experiencing memory loss (brain fog) associated with substance use.
