028. Diagnosis

Doctors who give advice to people going through withdrawals are obvious idiots.

February is a stupid month. I don't mean that based on artificial flavoring and blatant marketing strategy day. Leap year and all that. Screws with the calender and gets in the way of Saint Patrick's Day.

Speaking of which: "Drinking kills braincells."

News flash. Alcohol abuse, we're talking drinking like a fish, full on inebriation regularly, can cause serious neurological damage, like Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome. Cells injured are dendrites on neurons in the cerebellum, a part of the brain involved in learning and physical coordination. But even in such extreme cases, there’s a lack of evidence that alcohol kills brain cells.

Anyone else have a ridiculous old wives tale? Wait. Don't answer that.

You're new. You wouldn't ask if you were familiar with how this place rolls.

Is that so? I have a feeling I'd ask even once I got used to this place.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

No. No you wouldn't.

[flash-minato.livejournal.com]

I think I would. You're just pessimistic.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

And you're naive.

[flash-minato.livejournal.com]

Say what you will, but I don't believe I'm naive.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Believe me. I will.

[flash-minato.livejournal.com]

Is that so? I take it you're a very opinionated man?

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

I could be wrong. You could be an moron or a sadist and enjoy the curse days.

[flash-minato.livejournal.com]

So far I've only experienced one, and it wasn't that bad.

That's like saying "I've been in out on a windy day. Tornadoes can't be so bad."
