Does alcoholism give you brain damage on the long-run?

Yes, but it's a good thing. Imagine living in this absolutely fucked up brutal cunt of a world sober.

Lol.

and its bad for your gut health, and it causes cancer. Dude weed is probably safer, and psychedelics reduce grey matter and make your brain form more dense pathways.
Alcohol isn't that great of a drug.

Nigga u can still shower without soap.

wrong. small amounts of alcohol are proven to stimulate the intellect. As your alcohol tolerance builds up, even larger amounts of alcohol will have this effect.
>I can concentrate better after a bottle of wine than a jug of coffee.

yes, im basically a retard now

Liver damage

god i hope so

It does help a little bit, but only with a tiny bit. The edge in focus is that it helps you ignore things that don't matter.
Too much and you begin to ignore things that do matter, and your judgement is impaired.

>and psychedelics reduce grey matter
Do they? That isn't good, is it?

correct!

this is what i call the "bowling drinks" effect.
at a certain point you're bowling a perfect game, strike after strike.
then you take that one sip and you're shit for the rest of the night.

My nigga across the street drinks and builds websites. I drink and work carpentry. My Dad drinks then goes fishin or shoots his bow or builds shit. My wife drinks then lets me fuck her up the ass. Alcohol is love. Alcohol is life.

I was heavily absusing hard liquor, like rum and vodka for 5+ years. Maybe a 70cl bottle every 2 nights, to every night sometimes. The last session I had before I completely stopped was 2l of rum in one night.

It's definitely affected my speech. I slur words, I become sort of speech dyslexic (if that's a thing) saying sentences backwards and shit. I never used to be like this, in school/uni I was on the debate team and was quite good at holding long conversations, now I try to only say short sentences.

My liver is almost completely gone. Got the blood tests back, and it's far past the high limit, for a man twice my age. Never mind being 30.

I also can't remember things as well, and my motor control is somewhat lacking. I haven't had any booze in 6 weeks. The longest ever for me in years, and I mean years. First couple of days I was sure I was gonna pass out from the shakes.

Hope it's not too late for me and I get another few years out of life.

Women have more grey matter than men, and less dense neurological connections. Psychedelics make you less like that.

It makes you more collected in the face of fear when used the right way, it also gives you incredible long-term memory but makes your short-term memory less effective.

It'll kill me before it causes any substantial brain damage

Yes, as well as liver cirrhosis.

I don't get the withdrawal symptoms but I smoke weed also when I take a break. Good on ya bro, start running. Long form cardio causes neurogenisis. Can grow some new brainz.

>Does alcoholism give you brain damage on the long-run?
Obviously.

lol, you said that yesterday, so that makes it day 11 now

Cycle between alcohol, weed, nitrous, nicotine, caffeine, kratom, kava kava, and alkyl nitirites to prevent dependencies and mental deterioration

Why were you even doing heavy drinking if you don't want to slowly kill yourself?

I remember talking to another brit on r9k that said that he got super fucked from drinking whiskey and vodka practically everyday for years. He said he would literally drink one bottle a day at times no problem; the dude was insane.

I live in an area where it's impossible to have a decent conversation, so instead of trying to uplift the natives, I chose to drink myself into mild retardation in order cope. Yes, I believe I have experienced mild brain damage. As proof, I have yet to kill myself.

Oh shit you're right I lost track of time, I haven't left my room since I started fo coof

Quick answer is yes. Pretty much anything that is not food/water au naturale based, your brain isn't gonna like it. If you smell a chemical...you are in fact breathing it in, therefore smokin cells. Alcohol in moderation is somewhat ok. Moderation means you are drinking probably one or two times a month max.

Idk but I have been drinking pineapple juice and Sailor Jerry Rum since losing my job and getting the shelter at home message last Wednesday. I feel great.

Think what you just said is straight up retarded mate.

I know that feeling

Somebody posted this gif yesterday. I bet she couldn't even take my 6 inches completely because they're rock hard and bent slightly upwards, unlike that soft rubber shit.
Also, I can drink half a liter of hard liquor and a few beers, stone sober and no hangover after 8 hours of sleep.

Yes.

It proves you already have brain damage
It gives you liver damage in the long run

>I bet she couldn't even take my 6 inches completely because they're rock hard and bent slightly upwards,
You should've seen her other videos. You wouldn't believe the sorts of feats this girl is able to make.

High functioning alcoholic here. Whatever brain damage it gives you is temporary as long as you quit for more than 30 days and drink plenty of water your body will recover (though if you drink AND smoke that's not true).

Attempted this

Just ended up an alcoholic lol

Yes. It damages everything (heart, kidneys, liver—you name it!) I think I’ve already suffered some brain damage. Hard to say though, if I went 2-3 weeks without drinking I’d probably have a better idea of the extent.

Prolly but I always said it corrects my brain in the long run. I was wayyyyyyy to smart to enjoy anything

Have severe alcoholism, talking to court ordered alcohol counselor today

Shits gay

It's a Neurotoxin. Generally speaking, long term exposure to toxins damages DNA in cells
>Toxins damage DNA, which increases the rate of aging and degeneration. Many commonly used pesticides, phthalates, improperly detoxified estrogens, and products containing benzene damage DNA. ... Toxins damage cell membranes so they don't respond properly. “Signaling” in the body happens in the cell membranes.

If alcohol makes you stupid, how do you explain Bukowski? youtube.com/watch?v=oZEivOBQ6nc

Guy drank 100 times more than even the heaviest Yas Forums drinker, and was sharp even in old age, every word that comes out of his mouth is golden wisdom

i drank heavily for a long time. you see it happen in others that drink heavily. young and old. they just get stupider. saying the same thing over and over. people who were once sharp now just your average grug brained idiot.

supposedly most of the brain damage heals in the first two weeks but can take a year for the brain fully to heal.

i have quit for over a year. if i did it anyone can. it was the main part of my life for decades.

>Moderation means you are drinking probably one or two times a month max.
For a Mormon maybe

Oh fuck user. I just quit beer, weed and tobacco. I figured I'd use the time off work to do a water fast and quit all the bad shit. I've been coping well so far, but in the long run you're likely right.

Did you show your wife the bottom of your shoe, user?

Sorry buddy
Be strong

Again
The smartest people in the world are drinkers
Those whom do nothing like drink or smoke etc are literal potatoes

Honestly dunno. Was just passing time I guess. I had no mates and no direction. I had a lot of money and had no reason to do anything, didn't work or anything. Just drank, passed out, and then rinse and repeat.

Bit better now. Still no mates but I've put all my money away and have to work like a normal person.

Yeah I mean I've done it, you get used to it really easy. I remember it started in uni when my mates would be like wtf, that's been a bottle every night type talk. Then realising that normies get pissed on like 3-4 drinks, and I'm out there drinking literally 30 a night. All started from uni. Wish I never went.

No I crashed my car while drunk

>court ordered alcohol
>not even allowed to kill yourself
>muh freedom
Bukowski was the man, but who the fuck knows what he could've done sober. He had a fucked up childhood that caused his initial drinking.
Basically all artists have addictions of some kind. Normies don't make art that's worth shit.

Get your liver tested again in six months. I've known people who were on the verge of cirrhosis who tested in normal ranges after half a year of no drinking. Hang in there user, you will get better!

Yeah, I don't know why alcohol is so enjoyable whether alone or in groups. It's probably my favorite drug. By the way, does anyone else use valerian root to knock them out at night? It smells remarkably like my unwashed asshole. Can someone confirm? I feel like I'm imagining it

Kek

Liver damage more likely. Korsakov patients usually didn't eat well for a long time. In particularly missing out on vitamin b. There's some stuff that might make it easier on your liver (I think ginger is one) but your liver will always have to handle the alcohol to a big degree. One thing that the liver does as the only organ inside your body and that is that it regenerates. So if you do not drink for a long time, it's possible to keep a healthy liver.

Take milk thistle supplements to repair damaged liver

>it regenerates
My liver is like Wolverine

I took pills for a while. Those didn't smell. But I'm not sure if valerian even does anything.

No shit Alcohol is a solvent (like toulene), though less damaging. 1 heavy several days Alcohol binge has been proven to cause brain damage

That's in addition to the liver damage.

Yeah if you're not allergic. I have a ragweed allergy and that milk thistle fucked me up.

So is your skin. A major organ but not inside your body.

based and midwestpilled

should i minmax irl and gain elephant memory in exchange for forgetting where i am in the present moment?

Maybe it's placebo but valerian always seems to make me drowsy within an hour of taking it, but by god the smell is foul

Try the pills then.

Lmao

This. Ex alcoholic here. Drink bottle vodka a day. My memory was shot to shit. Sober for years now, and I'm still not 100%.

a lot. anything beyond 50ml of pure ethanol, and you're doing damage... your body synthesizes about 35-50ml of it as a signalling molecule/byproduct of digestion. Endogenous alcohol.
