1 pint of beer kills 1 brain cell

[Anonymous]

Is there any truth in the above statement?

It did the rounds at my school when we were 16 to 17, yes that age when most people are drinking, but are still under age. (God knows how the Americans cope with waiting until they're 21)

Isn't it conicidental that 1 pint kills 1 brain cell ? Surely 1 unit per brain cell would be a better myth.

I don't know, but another horror story linked to this is that child birth and prgnancy lead you to lose half your brain-cells...now, I've got two children do I have any left?????

Anyway, we all have billions of brain cells so the drinking is pretty unlimited before we have to worry. I would be pleased to test this theory if anybody would like to fund me..........

Ah, that explains it! I always wondered what the after-birth was...

(All right, I'm going.)

Will the pint of beer have to stand trial?

At school, we were told, that one drink killed several thousand brain cells. But, as we had millions of the little b***ers, there was no need to worry, we also lost loads every year of our life!!!!!!

Mind you, our science teacher was a confirmed 'alky'.

Still, as the only decent teacher in the dump, we kids covered up for her, even if, on reflection, I realise now, that she may have been a little prejudiced in her point of view!!!!!!

No what happens is that you loose half you current brain cells with each baby. So don't worry - you've still got 25% your virginal brain capacity.

I heard that one cigarette takes 7 seconds off your life.
The way i go through I should probably be dead already.

Thank you Mr C.

I see from your title, that you also have a personal interest in this thread. But how does one ever "semi-retire" from the occupation?

WEll let me tell you that the only thing that cured my morning sickness (all day queasiness in my case) when expecting my twins was a nice, half pint of Bass!

The only sort of Morning Sickness I've suffered has been due to an over-consumption of such beverages as the afore-mentioned Bass... But a fine brew in moderation! Cheers!

The trick is to know which pint it is that will kill the brain cell and avoid drinking it.

I think the official answer from Alcoholics Anonymous would be

As it takes me about 5 minutes to roll and smoke one, am I therefore gaining time?

The midwives told my wife to have the occasional beer after our daughter was born. I helps the mother produce milk.

I didn't have that excuse.
