ethanol (high precentage of it in vodka). it makes brain functions (like the ability to form new memories) fuzzy the more you drink (that's why you can black out if u drink too much)......

your brain forms a slight dependency on it too, thats why the next morning you feel hungover (because your brain wants more chemically).

Answer 9

Seeing these answers has sure shed some light on my life. I thought Vodka was the Russian word for water.

No wonder my license was taken away and my liver's pickled!

Edit:

Thanks for the clarification Anthony. So many things make sense now. My wife's been drinking it, and I have to admit she's been fun! My kids have been drinking it. Adam falls down a lot on the soccer field, but he sure can take some abuse! Briana is failing as an actress in Broadway style musicals, but she's grippingly intense when she has a lead role in a literary drama.

Tomorrow morning, I'm going to send them to summerschool with tap water instead of vodka and see if the calls from the school subside. I'll probably get that social services chick off my back too. I'll be switching to tap water soon too, but right now I have a headache and the shakes. The only thing that seems to help is vodka.
