	  The main character repeatly gets drunk and suffers from blackouts.
	During his blackout periods he manages to invent machines.  When he
	recovers from these blackouts he doesn't remember inventing the machines
	and spends his sober periods trying to find out what they do.

The Gallagher stories were collected under the title "Robots Have No Tails"
(or something pretty close to that) in the late 50's.  It's the first SF I
read, so I remember it with special fondness.  I confess I can't recall
whether the author, Henry Kuttner, is a pseudonym for Lewis Padgett or
vice versa...
