Alcohol is a neurodepressant. It is not necessarily a toxin, as the dose makes the difference.

By your standard, you can pretty much call anything a neurotoxin, given enough quantity.

And I don't disagree with you, necessarily, except on the amount part. Wet brain is definitely a thing. And alcohol abuse will definitely wreck your brain, your liver, and most of your organs and even your entire body. And it won't stop there! It may ruin your relationships and leave you lonely and your only friend will be the bottle.

But the amazing thing is most people who drink (in moderation) don't suffer all those things.

It's kind of like we all need to eat. Some people just eat way too fucking much.

But nobody needs to drink alcohol. Is not a necessity by any means. It's merely elective and the amount of which it is detrimental is variable proportional to the consumption of it.
