  • Oh for goodness sake. Everything psychological is biological. There is nothing wrong with describing the neurological mechanisms underpinning human behaviour and cognition. Every human enjoys the effects of various substances due to their effect on the brain. Fact. If your own biology insults you, that has nothing to do…

  • The brain derives pleasure from consuming a psychoactive substance due to its temporary altering of mental state, the body is left to process the toxins present in alcohol and its normal level of functioning is impaired (fat metabolism).
