So hopefully all my well informed readers saw this bad boy today - some scientists have spent countless hours, talented brain power and other precious resources coming to the shocking conclusion that boozing too much might not be great for your brain. I say might since, like any nuanced in depth research report, they really don't have the data (or balls) to actually reach and stand behind a conclusion.
In honor of their valiant efforts, I have used my mediocre brainpower and spare time to completely flip the script on these Debbie Downers by pointing out some beast ass historical figures who loved the sauce (selectively biased anecdotal evidence always trumps vaguely conclusive objective data; that my friends is just science).
Ben Franklin - said that beer is proof that G-d wants us to be happy. When he wasn't tying one on a the tavern, he was inventing sweet ass shit, harnessing electricity and founding a global superpower.
Earnest Hemingway - acclaimed author and Nobel prize winner actually got up and left the country when Prohibition was enacted. That is a hardcore drinker.
Winston Churchill - supported the "drinking of alcohol before, after and, if need be, during all meals and in the intervals between them." When he wasn't winning the Nobel prize, he was leading the Allied forces to victory against Hitler.
