Blame it on the alcohol

Everyone nowadays are all so concerned about such negative consequences such as traffic accidents, violence or public disorders, although people don't seem to think what negative consequences binge drinking may have on they're brain. A research at Spain’s Universidade de Santiago de Compostela says binge drinking also damages long-term memory. Damage to the hippocampus is a clear association between binge drinking and impaired memory. The hippocampus is a part of the brain which plays a key role in memory formation and it is especially susceptible to alcohol's poisonous effects.

I believe this new find is just what we need. People plan on avoiding the risks of drinking by taking a taxi home or staying over where you're drinking although what people mostly young people don't realize is that just drinking alone is taking a risk. I don't see a point to binge drinking to be honest, alcohol is mainly used to make you feel loose or to have a good time but to drink so much that you are to forget the night before, leave you puking the next morning with no recollection of where you are is not healthy, safe, or in anyway sound like a good time.
