When I was young, a doctor told me about alcohol dementia and how prolonged use of alcohol creates brain damage. I never cared for drinking alcohol, and I was glad to have that info to protect my brain cells. I need all the brain cells I can keep. |

14 Oct 08 - 02:23 PM (#2465516) Subject: RE: BS: Alcohol shrinks your brain From: Peace I agree. A small drink to wake up, perhaps a glass of champagne with breakfast, a few shots before the noon meal, a pick-me-up before tea time, a few belts of vodka before supper, some wine with the evening mean and a case of Guinness after the football game and perhaps a nightcap or two--hey, that's life. But serious drinking can certainly lead to health problems. Have to agree with that. I understand that Bush will be renting out space for a 24-car garage. |

14 Oct 08 - 04:31 PM (#2465632) Subject: RE: BS: Alcohol shrinks your brain From: Sandy Mc Lean Well I always thought that when a person sang with a hand closing one ear it was to let them hear that resonance. Now I know that it was to keep the brain from falling through the ear canal. |

19 Oct 09 - 04:02 PM (#2748176) Subject: RE: BS: Alcohol shrinks your brain From: Stringsinger Funny Peace! It's a good 'un. Drinking has been glamorized and used as humor. It's just another drug of choice. The problem is that in excess like any drug it leads to bad behavior. It also is a physical wrecker because it can become addictive. It's been unjustly called "The Irish curse" but fortunately there are Irish people who will not fit the stereotype. The late Tommy Makem was a "Pioneer". Never drank. I think drugs in general have a negative affect on the brain. Alcohol addles it. Pot smokers in general are not very coherent in a generally intelligent conversation. (They are mostly boring). I think alcohol may have even more damaging effects |

20 Oct 09 - 08:24 PM (#2749067) Subject: RE: BS: Alcohol shrinks your brain From: Bobert This ain't Wes Ginny Arithmatizin' here, folks, but the scientists say that even the smartest of if smart only use 5% of their brains so... ...who gives a flip??? I mean, okay, so I shrink my brain by, oh, let's say 50% just fir conversation sake... That means that a 20 pound brain before a few cold ones shrinks down to 10 pounds... Ya'll with me so far??? So, according to the Wes Ginny Slide Rule, ahhhhhhh, let's see??? 20 pounds of real smart persons brain X 5% = about 1 pound of actual brain needed to be really smart... So, reality is that humans only need about a pound's worth of brains to be real smart... Prolly half that fir Republicans... So back to the half shrunk 20 pound brain that is now 10 pounds... Ahhhh, I hate to burst any MADD bubbles out there but that's still 10 times more brain than is needed to be real smart and prolly 20 times more brains for Republicans... So... ...let's get drunk!!! Whaddayasay??? B~ |
