Why is it bad to smoke and drink alcohol?

Answer 1

You can die from it and your brain won't function correctly. See, your brain has many cells and send many messages. Without alcohol, your messages can go to the right place more of the time other than with alcohol. With alcohol, your messages can go anywhere and might miss the targeted receiver. In other words, you can't think straight. This is bad when you or somebody who is driving with you as a passenger has been drinking.

Answer 2

If you're talking about alcohol...too much kills brain cells, which is what happens when you get drunk. While under the influence of alcohol people tend to lose their inhibitions. When you're drunk you lose visual and audio acuity, your reaction time is impaired and balance is affected which could cause you to have accidents and to fall down or trip over things. Long term drinking causes the muscle tone to diminish, the skin to sag, blood vessels close to the surface to swell (like in the nose and eyes) and in general you "go to crap". (need a poo)

Opinion 2

First answer failed to mention that alcohol abuse / overuse causes liver disease. Liver Disease is deadly. This is the most important part of why drinking is bad for you. (please do not change my answer to be a carbon copy opposite of what I said again, or I will be forced to bring it to the attention of the website moderators.)

NOTE: It is an old myth that alcohol kills brain cells.

Answer 3

"cause it can get you killed!"

Yes, BUT.

Alcohol in moderation actually has some medical benefits.

Such as red wine has been proven to be benifitial to the heart.

(of course this means not getting so plastered you can't see/walk straight)

But there's also numerous harmful damages that are linked to drinking alcohol in excess.

Be safe, have fun.

Hope this helped.
