I never had a problem with it, but I have known many who have. As we enjoy our holiday season, I want to encourage all of you to have a good holiday season and to be respectful of others. Don't have fun while ignoring the responsibility of moderation!

What's wrong with diet coke? It has Aspartame in it.

quote: Well, there's a difference between how most theraputic psychoactive drugs affect the brain and how alcohol affects the brain. Theraputic psychoactive drugs tend to be designed to pinpoint certain kinds of brain cells, or certain pathways, or certain receptors, whereas alcohol works in a much more broad fashion. Alcohol affects all sorts of brain cells, all over the brain, willy nilly. It's the opposite of "pinpointed." So, it's highly inaccurate to even roughly equate the effects of constant alcohol in the bloodstream on the brain to the effects of most theraputic psychoactive drugs on the brain.

Don't have fun while ignoring the responsibility of moderation! Your warning comes too late. I had my work Christmas party last night. I've said it before and I'll probably say it again, I'm never drinking again... "Thank you Slartibartfast, that will be all."

It has Aspartame in it. What's your point? Lieutenant Dan: Have you found Jesus yet? Forrest Gump: Didn't know I was supposed to be looking for him, sir.

What's your point? Aspartame is not a chemical I want floating around in my body. Among other things: it's an appetite enhancer (great idea in a diet drink, guys!) and it breaks down to form methanol and formaldehyde.

I didn't know that. Maybe I will switch to something else. Does anybody have any suggestions other than mango juice?

Before everyone jumps on the anti-aspartame bandwagon, maybe we could ask for the detractors to start a new thread with their evidence of harmful effects.

Theraputic psychoactive drugs tend to be designed to pinpoint certain kinds of brain cells, or certain pathways, or certain receptors, whereas alcohol works in a much more broad fashion. which is naturally why prozac (etc) is just as likely to cause worsened depression and contribute to suicide. oh wait...

quote: My point wasn't that all theraputic psychoactive drugs are 100% perfectly effective or 100% perfectly safe for all people at all times. My point was that RAZD's comparison of the effects of psychoactive theraputic drugs on the brain and the effects of alcohol on the brain is not a good one. ...which is what I explained in my last message. To me, in light of what RAZD and I have been talking about, is seems as though you are saying that everybody who is depressed should not take any theraputic psychoactive medications and should instead just drink a lot of alcohol.

that's an unfounded jump. i'm just saying that psychoactive drugs are unreliable.

How about homemade brews? Anyone here do that?
Long ago I used to make dandelion wine, rose petal wine, hard cider/applejack (freezer distilled cider), and ginger beer, and hope to again in retirement. Any brewers? Save lives! Click here! Join the World Community Grid with Team EvC!
