New version of Toledo Talk

Something to 'think' about - "Heavy social drinkers show the same pattern of brain damage as hospitalized alcoholics -- enough to impair day-to-day functioning. Brain scans show clear damage, and tests of reading, balance and other function show people who drink more than 100 drinks a month have some problems, the researchers said. One drink is usually defined as a serving of spirits, a glass of wine or a can or bottle of beer." So that's a case of beer a week. Maybe four or five bottles of wine per week? Dudes, if you're drinking that many "spirits" and spending that much money per week, you already have brain damage and deserve it.

Those people have obviously never heard the phrase, "Everything in moderation."
