Reason I am asking is that I believe my husband suffers from this. Doctor did a cat scan and could not find anything

Does alcohol dementia show up on a cat scan?
It's possible. Alcoholic dementia can present in MRI as atrophied (shrunk) brain, enlarged central ventricles (black) and deep indentations around the brain's edges.

Even with no dementia present, excessive drinking can lead to "no memory of what he has done and act normal while he is doing the out of character thing". Did the doctor say anything about quitting alcohol? And I think I'll need to ask this, did he beat you?
