[kj] OT: Drinking leads to brain shrinkage

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

Someone n another ist I sent this to pointed out that the way the study 
was conducted, it could also be that folks with smaller brains are 
attracted to drinking more. That is, no causal relationship between the 
two -- drinking and brain shrinkage - was definitively established. 

I dunno. I do believe long term chemical dependency and abuse does cause 
permanent personality change, however, brain size be damned.
