Is this considered "heavy drinking"?
uh oh.
I have an excellent source that tells me a well known Senator who's supposedly sober is no such thing, so that explains why he apparently isn't a good test case for this theory.
Their brains may heal but their cirrhotic livers become like rubber.
Good news, if true. I wonder if the same healing occurs in other body organs- the liver, kidneys, etc. after drinking is ceased.
Wow, it's incredible how God made our brains so magnificent. This ought to be good news for any recovering alcoholic.

Keith is a truly notorious drunk...surpassed only by his father.
Rumor has it that he drinks a quart of Vodka per day just to ward off the shakes. His favorite drink is the "nuclear waste"...tang and vodka in equal parts.
not the one I know...she's needs a kidney and a liver.
but her dad quit years ago and is fine. has been and is a...pharmacist
and yes...it's hereditary.
100 drinks per month equals about 3 per day. I'm guilty of that myself. :O)
Well, all those liberals who say President Bush's brain is warped from drinking better learn a new line hadn't they?
DANG! This nood Gews!
3 a day, heck yeah! In fact, pardon me while I go mix #4....
I feel all around better since I quit drinking but I'm still an idiot.
Uh...hate to be a party pooper..but what about our friend, THE LIVER????????
Two centuries I'm guessing.
Looks like drugs and alcohol really DO cause wrinkles.
