    Fact as research show it to be, it is to some level untrue. Regardless how much I used to drink, besides looking sick, I would only ever talk alot. If I were to add smoking, I would also feel sick. That combination made it easy for me quit both drinking, and smoking. Guess those were just not meant for me.
