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."

    You're 100% wrong. Alcohol is a physiologically addictive drug that works on the reward centers of the brain which causes craving. Alcoholism is absolutely not rare, 5% of the entire world's adult population is afflicted with it. I have significant first hand experience with alcohol addiction. Do yourself a favor and literally just search up "most harmful drugs" and report back what you find about where alcohol consistently ranks in every single study. At this point you're just spewing ignorance.

      There is no study that is titled "top 10 most harmful drugs", that is not how studies work, you're just thinking of online articles.

      You clearly have no clue how alcohol works lol. Even many alcoholics are not physiologically addicted. I know because I literally have people like that in my family. They will stop for long periods of time drinking anything whatsoever and they will be far better than they usually are, no withdrawal, nothing whatsoever. Then they'll go back to drinking all day long just because they think it will make them stop being miserable, even though it makes them more so. It's not nearly as easy as you seem to think for physiological alcohol addiction to set in, usually it comes after the psychological addiction, not the other way around. And yes, it does happen, and yes, I also know what that is like.

        There literally are scientific studies which quantify and rank the harm caused by drugs, you are once again 100% completely wrong.

          Look, you clearly want to be a moron, so I'll just say this and leave it at that: there is a billion different ways in which you can quantify how harmful something is. Any kind of quantification will only tell you how something ranked in terms of that specific and very much subjective quantification. This is not science, it is mostly interesting to online health advisors which consistently break people's brains.

            Nope, you're still wrong, alcohol is objectively an extremely harmful and dangerous drug and no amount of your idiotic mental gymnastics changes it. You may as well be a climate denier or anti vaxxer with amount of disregard you have for simple facts.
