> Incidentally and completely off-topic, unless your mental associations are as loose as mine, but I was recently rather shocked to find out that alcohol is a neurotoxin

Of course it's a neurotoxin, the whole point is that it messes up the way your brain operates in a way that happens to be enjoyable.

If we're talking about this, let's not forget that it also causes brain damage, in moderate to heavy drinkers. http://pubs.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/aa53.htm

I'm sorry but what? There are plenty of drugs which are not neurotoxic and are still enjoyable.
