Alcohol kills brain cells, but only the weak ones.

I’m getting smarter every day!

I don’t drink at all. But I do cook with wine and eat Pound Cake soaked in Rum.

Everything has positive and negative effects on the human body. Enjoy your life and pay no mind to these stories.

My oldest sister ended up with alcohol-induced dementia. She’d originally been in and out of alcohol rehab at the State Psychiatric Center in her younger years, and eventually ended up being permanently institutionalized for the rest of her life, passing at age 74.

I’d rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy

One David Harvey will blow this study to a gazillion pieces!!

One of my few Tile Bosses for 43 years!! Dave Harvey was an Alcoholic the likes not seen by most!!! He started drinking booze EVERY DAY at the office by 11 AM. Everyone....Tile Suppliers, Contractors, General Contractors(The Top Dogs) Employees... Everyone knew NEVER call the shop after 11:30. Text book definition of Verbal abuse!!! He was an animal!! He is now 89 years old, and STILL is at the shop at 6 AM every day except Sundays... starts drinking by 11 AM and goes home drunk at 2:30PM...

He is STILL sharp as a tack!! Zero Dementia in Dave Harvey!!!

Thought I’d Share a Life long cause of one of my sources of mental trauma!!

I am a lifetime teetotaler.

Started as a hostile act against my alcoholic, abusive, man hating mother.
Since probably age 19 or so I have never had a drink.

Trump, Mitt Romney and I are nondrinkers.

More evidence of supposedly smart people exercising their dumbassery.

Example 1: My fraternal grandmother began experiencing severe dementia about the age of 70; it killed her within 3 years. She never touched alcohol.

Example 2: My maternal grandfather - old country Italian - drank like a fish and died relatively young at about age 60. He never experienced any dementia, but he did suffer heart ‘disease’.

My point is that these studies are so poisoned - ahem - with bias that their worth is measured in the spectrum of gases they emit as they decay after being digested by the study authors forced to eat printouts of their - ahem again - crappy work.

Until the entire NIH grant approval process is overhauled - an agency still populated with covidiots responsible for plandemic policies/crimes - nothing will ever change.

For the record, this is the study from which they’ve done a full 180:

Prospective Study of Alcohol Consumption and Risk of Dementia in Older Adults

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/196197

Which is right or wrong? pfffffft

Well, refined sugar is bad for the liver, and sugar reduces the immune systems ability, so alcohol can have a similar effect. So if you’re having an issue with a damaged area or infection in the brain, it definitely won’t help your body fight it/fix it.

Those cases don't prove anything. Any risk factor is absolute. Smoking is a risk factor for lung cancer. Many smokers never get lung cancer, and about 15% of people with lung cancer never smoked once.

15% of people who die of breast cancer are men.

Trouble was my weekends were always beginning on Monday.
