saw this on the news today. I don't drink so I'll be fine. My dads an avid fan of his drink and he can't hear to well either.

 

[Steve Owen]

Eh? Speak up.

 

[James Edward]

What? Did somebody say something?

 

[ericLee]

it says that even moderate drinking can effect the auditory nervs and slow reaction time, I wonder what the people that drink a little wine while listening to their system have to say.

 

[Glenn Overholt]

Hon, could you get me another glass?

Unfortunately, she drinks too, so it all falls on deaf ears.

Alcohol has damamged my ears! I got drunk, passed out and hit my ear on the coffee table as I fell...now I can't hear a thing!

 

[Dan Hine]

Sorry guys, it's not the alcohol that does it. Scientists just always need a complicated answer for everything. It's not the alcohol, it's the loud bars we go to...

Funny, I drank for 14 years but I never heard that before.

 

[Richard Travale]

lmao, pun intended?

 

[RobR]

Does this mean a deaf person can have all the drinks he or she wants?

 

[Jim_F]

People had told me that I should stop drinking sooner, but I wouldn't hear of it.

condolences to Ron P

 

[MarkHastings]

I'm sure there are going to be a lot of deaf people tonight.

reading junk science on the internet diminishes understanding

HEY! THIS IS IMPORTANT! EVERYONE WHO DRINKS SHOULD READ THIS.

Everything kills you, everything hurts you in some way. This stuff changes every other week. One week it prevents heart attacks, the next week it makes you deaf, soon they'll probably say it makes you better in bed.

Screw it all and enjoy your life and have a beer.

 

[Brian Harnish]

Wait...alcohol *DOESN'T* make you better in bed?

 

[Tony Whalen]

I'm sorry...did you guys say something?

Was it Tom Waits who used to say - I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy?

Anyway, WC Fields said, after hearing of a man drowned in a vat of whiskey - Death, where is thy sting?

I see "evidence" in this thread that spelling ability may be implicated in something
