So perhaps you go out drinking. And the next day you have a hangover. Whether it be from oxygen deprivation to the brain or the metabolism of Acetaldehyde? Who knows. Do you have to know all the exact natures of a wrong to prove to yourself it is a wrong?
But the symptoms are a stupor and pain.
Not for the purposes of comparison, and perhaps per the point of view of some biologist out there, lets consider that your brain is really an organ. An organ that processes information.
And what other organs does your body have? Your heart. I am not going to mention your liver.
But there is even a term that an adult can become mentally retarded from drinking alcohol.
See where I am going with this.
You can feel that you damaged your brain the day after you drank alcohol.
But do you feel that you damaged your heart also?
Could you run a quarter mile as soon as you got up the next day? Why not? I wouldn't recommend it. Who would? Is it really because you damaged your heart in the same way that you damaged your brain, but you didn't feel it?
And how many alcoholics have a stroke at some point when they get old; directly attributable to the alcohol? How could you say that the heavy drinker who had a stroke had that stroke from any other cause than that? Never drank so much your nose bled easily?
So where am I going with this?
So you can feel the minute effects of the alcohol on your brain the next day?
What makes you think that your heart is any different than your brain in terms of the detriment of alcohol to it?
Did I make a point here? Who would say that I didn't make a point here? How would you say that I didn't make a point? Would you try and attempt to say it is an invalid comparison? On what basis would you say that? Do you actually believe that or do you just want to contrive something that allows you to dismiss an element of reality? And I don't want to go into any more of a definition or profiling than that.
