You mean after drinking alcohol?
At 49, yes I am starting to get a little foggy about things. Not quite as sharp as I used to be.
White noise. Good description. I used to call it fuzzy instead of foggy, but it's definately more foggy now than fuzzy.
Found an interesting explanation.

Memory: when I was very small, I had such a good memory that my mother used me to track down lost keys and things for her.
But by the time I was 5 or 6, I had such a long list of things that I agonized over, stupid things I'd said or done, times people had been angry or contemptuous towards me, that I started consciously trying to forget.
Sharp memories still lance up through the fog, but I basically made myself stupid.

I am the same way. I have a bad memory too.
After spending a few consecutive days indoors, my head will feel heavy and it will be hard to think. Maybe that is also the result of my excessive computer use...

Seems to be a common trait with us.
I have had a few days (at one point three months) where for some reason my SA went away completely, and in those times I noticed that all of the 'noise' was gone, along with the non-stop chaotic "person walking towards me what do they think how do I react to them there's another person on the left..." (which is what I think the noise is made up of).
Noticing it was gone was surprising, and a relief. I also noticed that I was now thinking of almost absolutely nothing. Without all that chaos it was really dead in there, and I thought, "This is what THEY always have in their heads. No wonder they try to talk to each other so much! To fill the void."

I've had foggy brain before, but mine was caused by food allergies. Milk usually does it to me if I consume enough of it, gives me awful headaches too. Just being around rice does it to me, and then I quickly go into a severe reaction. Yeah, it's fun. 
Oh, and I've gotten it with low blood sugar.
Oh, and I've gotten it with low blood sugar.Yes this, then trying to make decisions on top of this causes me to get really confused.
