I have always found the opposite to be true. Alkies never are the same again.

A cousin of someone I know takes pills by the handful, he smokes whatever he can get his hands on, drinks, drives home with his kids in the car.
Even when he is sober, he ain’t normal.

Yes? Do you have something objective and substantive to offer?

“Alcohol addiction is bad but I havent seen many with fried brains after they quit.”
Plenty of irreversibly fried brains because of alcohol. Ever heard of wet brain?

This is on top of liver damage, stomach disease, nerve damage, and muscle atrophy to name just a few complications brought on by alcoholism.

You won’t convince me without something substantive or objective. Opinions that run counter to all of my anecdotal experience won’t cut it.

I haven’t seen it do anything significant to anyone so I don’t know what about that would convince me it’s terrible. I’m not sure how you can claim to have seen long term effects in those “high school burnouts” and “concert goers” either.

I am 59, one good friend of mine is 65 and another is 70. Is that long enough? I could name dozens more who are mere acquaintances. I don’t know any burnouts or unaccomplished people for that matter.
