Alcohol kills brain cells!! .... not really.

Well, the impact of too much alcohol, or other drugs, it is often described as killing brain cells even though research tends to disagree. The truth is that alcohol interrupts the communications between the brain cells while one is under the influence. Most of the time the connectivity is restored over time but there can be a longer lasting impact. When the communication is restored, it does not always connect things exactly as they were originally. Also, research has shown that it can take weeks for the impact of binge drinking to be completely overcome. Reaction times of someone that was intoxicated will be slowed weeks later.
