Drinking doesn't kill brain cells and lower your IQ, does it?!


Question: I guess that was all an "old wives tale" to try to keep kids from drinking and driving. I mean, look at how much Stone Cold drinks and he doesn't appear to be any dumber since
10 years ago...

it kills your liver!! You need to smoke pot to kill those brain cells

Drinking doesn't really kilss brain cells, it just lower your reaction rate. that is why you are not supposed to drink and drive, because your baody isn't functioning as if your body was sober

It does in the long long run

Eventually that will catch up with him. You cannot abuse your body and expect there will be absolutely no consequences. I don't know about brain cells because there are still a lot of things about the brain that we do not know about, but not being able to see the consequences of abusing a harmful substance is no excuse to do it in the first place. This Cold guy is well on his way to a cirrosis, a liver ailment that eventually kills you, so, talk about being dumb...

Scientific medical research has actually demonstrated that the moderate consumption of alcohol is associated with better cognitive (thinking and reasoning) skills and memory than is abstaining from alcohol. Moderate drinking doesn’t kill brain cells but helps the brain function better into old age. Studies around the world involving many thousands of people report this finding. 2

Of course, years of alcohol abuse can cause serious neurological damage, including Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome. Harm can be done to message-carrying dendrites on neurons in the cerebellum, a part of the brain involved in learning and physical coordination. But even in such extreme cases, there’s a lack of evidence that alcohol kills brain cells. 3

I have yet to see a brilliant drunk! Lol
Are you trying to justify something of an escuse unto you?
Try again!

Drinking doesn't lower your IQ, your IQ stays the same. Your brain cells are probably being killed though. Alcohol affects all kinds of things in your brain (pituitary gland, etc.) In fact, even erectile dysfunction has been linked to alcohol abuse in heavy chronic drinkers because it damages parts of the brain over long periods of time.

Yes it does.It doesn't lower your IQ but kills the brain cells.Trust me, cause i work with people who are very ill because of it.It can cause the Korsakov Syndrome,all kinds of somatic and psychiatric diseases, that you don't want to know about.What do you think about having Dementia at 35 years old because of it?

Yaha it wrong i perfesser oncit and nosw i fine no blain cels r all lst me.

i don't worry about that.

yes it dose

Perhaps the best argument that I have heard for drinking concerning your brain is that by drinking, you are killing off your weakest brain cells, thereby increasing the overall strength of your brain. Then again, drinking too much might make this argument seem more logical than it really is...

"Well you see, Norm, it's like this...A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the lowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.
In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. And that, Norm is why you always feel smarter after a few beers."
