As a society, we have had a tendency in the past to ignore a lot of frightening stats around alcohol. We just carry on getting wasted without thinking about the consequences. But is it time we started tuning into the facts?

Today Vic and Hame take a look at Alcohol related dementia, Also called Wernicke-Korsakoff, is a form of dementia related to the excessive drinking of alcohol. This affects memory, learning and other mental functions. Korsakoff’s syndrome and Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome are particular forms of alcohol related brain injury which may be related to alcohol related dementia.

It affects lots of people and believe it or not - can be preventable. Stopping drinking is just the start, then it's time to engage in lots of weird and wonderful activities in order to stave off dementia as you get older. So, take a listen and find out what you should do to keep that lump of flesh in yer noggin firing on all cylinders.

There are also a few poo stories not no reason what-so-ever.
