Scientists have figured out exactly how much fun it is to get drunk

Public health discussions about drug and alcohol use tend to be dour, humourless affairs. We talk about all sorts of terrible things associated with drug use, such as car crashes and mental illness and kids getting high and people killing themselves and others.

Take a look, for instance, at how the federal government describes the effects of alcohol:

"Alcohol affects every organ in the drinker's body and can damage a developing fetus. Intoxication can impair brain function and motor skills; heavy use can increase risk of certain cancers, stroke, and liver disease."

All of this is true, of course, but it's incomplete. You don't pour a glass of wine with dinner to "damage a developing fetus"; you do it because the wine helps you relax after a long day. You don't go out to the bar and down five beers with your buddies to "increase the risk of certain cancers"; you do it because the beer helps the conversation and camaraderie come easier.
