Simply Apple! 

Do you drink much of this each day?

I have been lately, yes. It's delicious, tastes a lot like cider.

Yeah, I just googled it. It sounds nice. Just a thought it might be lot of fruit sugar if you have a few glasses in one day.

Mind you, I have been known to have a few glasses of 'grape juice' in a day!

Whwn I go on my diet, I will switch to plain water. 

But the grape juice is good for you, all those antioxidants...

Mmm, I could tell myself that, but apparently all alcohol damages your liver.

Why is every thing good, naughty?

We just haven't yet learned to extract the bad stuff.

My brother is 26 and already has damaged his liver (according to his doctor).   He was basically told that he has to stop drinking.    Alcohol is toxic... it is a poison... which is why some bartenders ask you "What is your poison?"

I hope he quits really soon.

He has not taken a drink in 6 months, according to him.   He goes to AA meetings regularly and has a sponsor.

Yes, I agree. I knew that it was also blamed for causing brain damage over time, but the flashback biology lesson to lipids was interesting to show how it happens. Thanks for posting the link.

Alcohol is also a depressant. It's really not good for you at all.

I used to have 1 drink a year, on Christmas day....maybe 1 on New Years.

People in AA call the brain damaged types "wet brains".   I actually have met a guy at an AA meeting that was brain damaged by his drinking, but he did recover some after a while (supposedly).   

It is good that you don't drink often.   I haven't drank a beer or anything in at least 3 months (not sure) and it was just to humor my grandfather.   I usually make an excuse to not go out drinking with certain friends.   Something ALWAYS happens when I go out drinking with those fuckers.   Thankfully I am not the one that gets the DUIs, broken limbs, bruises, etc.

I drink much more often now than I used to. But this discussion has been interesting, because I had already decided to go back to my old habits. I also think smoking affects your brain and I'm giving that up tomorrow.

Apart from the health aspect, I just think I am a different person with NO chemicals in my body. So I think I'm going to give it a shot.

Good luck with the quitting...are you using a patch, or just stopping cold?

I wish you the best of luck with that.   

My brother still smokes cigarettes daily, he decided to concentrate on quitting the alcohol first.    He had a serious drinking problem though haha.

How are you doing so far without the cigarettes?
