I doubt: Anything is possible. However, i doubt that brain tumor is the case here.There are many factors that are related to memory problems-especially in the case of alcohol and endocrine problems ( which one?) i think in your case-other causes such as vit B12 deficiency, hypothyroidism or hepatic encephalopathy related to alcohol - need to be checked as those could be the reason why you become forgetful.

Unlikely: Brain tumors can cause a vast areas of symptoms so one can never say never---but with alcoholic memory problems and endocrine issues, the best way to be helped is to start with your primary care physician.
