I really think the "I can't remember" is an excuse - I have been quite 
drunk a few times, but I always remembered (eventually in *one* case) 
what I did.

What's it like?  Well, your balance may go out, and muscles don't work 
quite the way they're supposed to.  Everything feels a bit exaggerated to 
me - when moving, for example, it feels to me like I'm moving a bit 
faster but with a lot less accuracy of movement.  If I try to, I can 
force myself to slow down and concentrate on things, but that takes a 
fair amount of effort.

The next morning, hungover, is not a fun feeling.  I started adding a 
glass of water between beers when I was last in the UK, and that helped a 
lot.  Ibuprofin helps as well.
