    All alcohol destroys some part of the liver and the brain. It’s not something our bodies were ever meant to ingest, despite how popular it is to do so. One drop of pure alcohol (about the amount in a glass of wine) permanently kills some 10,000 or so brain cells.

    But hey if it feels good temporarily, that’s all that matters. Drink up!

      Alcohol doesn’t actually kill brain cells. It causes short and long term damage to your brain in other ways, as it is a neurotoxin. But the brain cells thing is a myth put forward by puritans because they’re idiots that don’t understand that you don’t have to lie constantly to get your point across.

          Nobody drinks because it’s good for them. Nobody thinks or pretends it’s good for them. And it’s actually fine if you do it in moderation.

          This kind of weird holier than thou fear mongering about substances is why we have the war on drugs now. It irritates me.

            But drinking IS good for you and it DOES heal the body and give people superpowers. I’m all for people drinking themselves into a stupor because they will feel SO, so good from it. I really do encourage it and all the drug abuse that is humanly possible, it makes me feel good to see it, and I truly do support it all.
