"...Women who "passed out" after consuming alcohol were more than twice as likely to develop dementia over the next decade..." I often wonder what happened to the babes who wretched on me in the backseat of a VW Beetle?😎

Alcoholism also runs in the family.

Then I’m in serious trouble every time Chris Hahn shows up on the Tee Vee. He makes me want to drink until I pass out.

[Bonemaker]

“Boy, did I get drunk last night!!! Oh, did I get really drunk!!!”

Or as they say in Australia “boy did I get pissed last night”!

I was going to comment, but forgot what I wanted to say.

I actually got blackout drunk on the way to Kings Dominion once when I was young. Fortunately, as far as I know, I didn’t actually pass out. This was in the morning, mind you, so by the time the bus was heading back home, I damn near screamed every time the bus hit a bump on I-95.

"I’m allergic to alcohol, everytime I get drunk I breakout in handcuffs." You are lucky...some guys wake up 1,000 miles from where they started with their arm gnawed off!😎

[Professional]

No drunk forgets.

Where he left the bottle.

[Bonemaker]

“Define passing out.”

I like to think of it as going to sleep very quickly.

When one has a decreasing number of viable brain cells, killing them off with alcohol certainly won’t help.

Explains some of the politicians, doesn’t it?

[Bonemaker]

“Wish I’d known that 30 years ago.”

I did...I didn’t care.

[Tea Party Terrorist]

Unconscious and unable to wake up until a period of time has passed, generally several hours, unless a stimulant is introduced.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Look not upon the wine when it is red....

[Bonemaker]

"Why do something to yourself that will cause nausea and headaches?" You have a point...oh God do you have a point!😡

[Bonemaker]

“If you drink so much that you pass out, you don’t have much of a brain to begin with.”

I’ve never passed out from drinking...it’s impossible while you are puking your guts out for an hour or two.

“Drinking to the point of passing out increases dementia risk”

Can someone tell me the difference between the two. The following are symptoms of dementia by the Mayo Clinic:

Memory loss
Difficulty communicating or finding words
Difficulty with visual and spatial abilities, such as getting lost while driving
Difficulty reasoning or problem-solving
Difficulty handling complex tasks
Difficulty with planning and organizing
Difficulty with coordination and motor functions
Confusion and disorientation
Personality changes
Depression
Anxiety
Inappropriate behavior
Paranoia
Agitation
Hallucinations

Seen this in every bar on Friday or Saturday night I went to if I stayed long enough. Slow Joe is really Shlow Joe.

And the only factor is how cheap your drinks are based upon your debit/credit card. Most drunks don’t consume Dom Perignon.

I drank until all of my brain cells, except two, were lost forever.

Then I sobered up and those two remaining cells are always in an argument one with the other.

[Bonemaker]

“How much of a drinker was Biden? It would be interesting to know.”

Probably not much...and that is the problem.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

Is the dementia caused by the alcohol killing brain cells or is the dementia caused by the repeated head hitting the floor after passing out.

"....alcohol was long ago established as being capable of causing serious damage to major organs." Actually it was just a year and a half ago with my last CT scan.😎
