Went into this bar yesterday and ordered a Dewars. Friggin' barjack asked me if I wanted in "on the rocks." I reached over and grabbed the punk by the neck and told him I want it on the fucking rocks, under the fucking rocks, round the side of the fucking rocks, goddam surrounding the goddam fucking rocks!
You can bet he didn't ask any more wise ass questions the rest of the night. |

DRINKING ASSOCIATED WITH BRAIN SHRINKAGE
Thu Dec 4, 2003
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Studies have shown that having a drink or two a day may be good for the heart, but a new study suggests that moderate drinking may not be so beneficial for the brain.
The study of people in their 50s and 60s found a possible link between low-to-moderate drinking and reduced brain size.
But researchers caution that the reduction in brain size was small, and whether such a reduction has any significant effect is unknown.
Chronic alcohol abuse is known to reduce brain volume, but the effect of moderate drinking on the brain is uncertain. Some studies have found that light-to-moderate drinking reduces the risk of stroke in some people. But research in people 65 years or older has found a connection between drinking and a reduction in brain size.
As people age, they sometimes change their drinking habits, so a team led by Dr. Jingzhong Ding at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, set out to measure the effect of alcohol consumption in a somewhat younger group of people. Their study included more than 1,900 people ages 55 to 64, who underwent brain scans with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Data on alcohol consumption were based on self-reports.
Light-to-moderate drinking did not seem to have a protective effect on the brain, the researchers report in the advance online edition of Stroke: Journal of the American Heart Association (news - web sites). Light (one to six drinks a week) to moderate (seven or more drinks a week) drinkers were no more likely to have signs of dead brain tissue show up on the MRI scan.
Among drinkers, each additional drink consumed per week was associated with a decrease in brain volume. This association was seen in men and women and in blacks and whites.
The study is not the first to suggest that drinking can affect brain volume, but it does provide evidence that the process may begin sooner than expected, according to the researchers.
The impact of drinking on brain health and the risk of stroke remains uncertain, however.
"The clinical significance of the small reduction of brain volume associated with moderate alcohol drinking observed in the present study is unknown," the authors conclude.

Piffle.
My brain gets bigger when I'm drinking.
Like last night, fer instance. Went over the mountain to a basketball game. Stopped for a bite and a few brews for pre-game meal. They had that NPN trivia thingy. After 2 pitchers of Yings and a shot of Cuervo, I set a location high score for the movie trivia. Remember, I said AFTER 2 pitchers and a shot. I do not think I would have been capable of doing that had the alcohol not swelled my brain and lubricated my synapsis.
I also shoot pool better after I've imbibed a bunch. Helpful for sharkin' hapless rubes of their paychecks. |

What the hell does Dr. Jingzhong Ding know (if that's really his name). I'm with Stoney on this one -- after a couple of beers, my brain goes into overdrive.
Dr. Jingzhong Ding (that's not a name, it's a Christmas song) should get hisself a bottle and try it out -- maybe he'll do better reasearch next time.
What Dr. Jingzhong Ding (can somebody get the door) needs is some Newcastles!! That's what he needs! |
