This was effective in stopping me from drinking til age 20. Too drunk to google it right now, can someone enlighten me about this phrase?

In that vein, I propose another slogan: "Capitalism kills brain cells."

    As far as I understand, It doesn't literally kill brain cells but it can lead to brain damage and it can interfere with the formation of new brain cells. Extreme Alcoholism often also leads to Wernicke–Korsakoff syndrome, which is a syndrome (or two syndromes that tend to come as one) that can lead to major learning and memory problems, sometimes it can also have other brief but dangerous effects such as paralysis of the nerves that move your eyes.
