Alcohol doesn't destroy the mind like drugs do.

You stoners and druggies have destroyed so much... How many Einstein-quality minds were instead led into a life of munchies and dime bags? How many people suffered permanent destruction of their minds for a "little high?" How many loves were ruined because a person cared more for their fix, than their partner? - I know of at least one.

You forgot to mention having sex with colored jazz musicians. Thank you for clearing up the fact that there is no way in hell you are a scientist, much less a chemist, though.

Provide evidence for your claim.

"drinking heavily can lead to malnutrition and poor absorption and storage of thiamine. This is the cause of 'wet brain' or Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, which is alcohol-related brain damage affecting language and thinking." - http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000339.htm
