cita/escita are a bad mix with alcohol

How bad though?

How long is a string? Mileage varies by person.

Sure. What's the mechanism of the adverse effects? Alcohol is always bad. Is it just extra taxing on the liver? Or is something specific going on?

Neuro scientists say any amount of alcohol is bad for the brain. My understanding is that alcohol damages dendrites and synapses in the brain.
