Wonderful news Straight Dopers! Feel free to send massive quantities of liquor to Cecil, his brain cells are safe! [Alcohol and the Brain](http://interserver.miyazaki-med.ac.jp/~kimball/med/alc.brain.html) Sorry it doesn’t answer the OP. But it makes me wonder where the evidence came from that alcohol does kill brain cells? * * * “You CAN’T be evil. 'Cos no matter how many ‘bad’ things you do on purpose, you MUST be doing it because you think it’s the right thing to do.” ---

Hi Kaos, welcome aboard, sorry for the rough ride. It’s generally good netiquette to lurk at a site for a while and learn the character and feel of a board before posting. That helps avoid such travesties as all cap subjects, forgetting a link (oh wait, this is GQ), and missing acceptable practices like sarcastic ribbing. Do we have a FAQ on this stuff? Oh, and a troll is an obnoxious beast that posts merely to make a disturbance. ---

well, thanks irishman, i will take that into account next time! I figured out what alcohol does to the brain, but i got another question, and i am too lazy to start a new thread so here goes: What happens when a person goes/is born color blind? Hopefully, people will help me with this one without my getting scolded… ☹ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/alcohol/8323.md?page=1)
