Me lose brain… Uh oh!

Remember how back in school they’d always tell you how alcohol “kills brain cells” and that “brain cells are the only type of cells that can’t reproduce?” Scary, right? (Corollary: Has anyone ever heard (maybe not in school, but…) that, “[Too much] Sex will make you stupid?”). So it turns out that basically all of these statements are waay wrong. Not only does the brain constantly add fresh neurons to it’s wrinkly old self, but sex can actually make it happen faster! Now none of this is to say that drinking (and other intoxicants) won’t eventually do “brain damage” and impair memory function, that shit is plainly obvious. All I’m saying is, that just because your case (”Just say No!”) is weak as hell, that is no reason to go around spouting pseudo-scientific BS to support it!!
