Are you between 16 and 17? Do you promise that you’ve never had more than 2 “standard alcohol drinks” in your entire life? Do you live in 
Sydney, AUS?
If you meet all of those requirements then Lindy Rae at the Prince of Wales Medical Research Unit at Randwick wants to talk to you…and have you drink a lot.
You see, rat studies have shown that alcohol screws with young rats’ brains and the researchers now need young HUMAN brains to screw with.
Now, there will be tests.
Participants will be given cognitive tests [presumably before and after] to measure alcohol’s impact on the young brain. Maybe this study will get up and running sometime in the near future…as soon as the researchers find enough kids who haven’t been drinking since birth.
Screws with your brain ?
Okay……….! I truly believe it………!
Here’s some other unfortunate, but true facts regarding Alcohol………
Currently there are five most common health afflictions directly caused from moderate drinking of Alcohol, and moderate being 2-3 per day, hard liquor, itself is nothing but tripe. Medical Officials now say moderate drinking should be no more than 1-2 per week, hard liquor.
And they are, in no particular order…..
-Grand Mal Seizures
-Progressive Blindness
-Progressive Deafness
-Corroded Livers
-Heart Attacks
All are severe and permenant with no cures known at this time.
And there is no warning prior, to any of them striking…
Studies/research has shown that in the last 20 yrs, increasing in the last 10 yrs, most hit are healthy, well established, career orientated, family men & women, financially stable/secure, outstanding citizens, who suddenly have a major life altering affliction, with no way for them to correct it.
Many of us have been desperately attempting to convince our Canadian Government to pass legislation for mandatory health warning labels on all Liquor containers, which they’ve yet to agree with.
So while there’s nothing that can be done for those hit, myself included, all us old farts will one day be dropped off at Nursing Homes, to be spoon fed & diaperred, & if our teen children have already been hit, as currently they are following directly in our slimy grimy footsteps, who then, will take over our many professions ?
Something to think about……………………and think long & hard too !
May God help us all !
