      The way I look at it, I was probably just too clever to begin with, so I am just levelling the playing field.

      *Research suggests consuming 35 units of alcohol per week for five years or more can cause ARBD, which affects a person’s ability to carry out basic daily tasks.*

      > Thousands of people with alcohol-related brain damage (ARBD) could be going undiagnosed, an expert says.

      More woke bollocks from the BBC, I’ve been drinking most of my life and I don’t have any bane ramage.

      I’ve regularly drank that amount and also been hit in the head numerous times does this mean I’ve got double brain damage

      So that’s a considerable percentage of what would be seen as a functioning work force?

      And? So what? Who are you? There’s nothing wrong with my drains. Get out of my house!

      Back when I was a kid popular wisdom would reach a similar conclusion through empirical observation

      For idiots like myself who still don’t understand units that’s apparently 10-12 pints a week.

      Anyone who goes to a pub regularly but only drinks in moderation will know this just from seeing some of the other regulars.

      Sounds like the average uni student has Alcohol related brain damage then. 35 units a week is like 12 pints of 5% beer a week.

      Pretty sure the entire existence of both Mrs Browns Boys and Goggle Box are proof of that.

      This is what they should be doing public service announcements on TV for. As a paramedic, I’ve been to many with alcohol related brain damage, the most notable being a man in his fifties being cared for by his father in his eighties because he had permanently become a vegetable from Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome.

      There is a huge cost to the NHS from those with chronic alcohol abuse who see no issues with what they’re doing and think that they don’t impact others with their self neglect.

      Nothing compared to the poor millions who have, unknowingly, suffered a kick to the head by a horse
