Line 64:
* [[Alcohol Hic]]: That said, it's not the surest way to tell if someone is drunk - sober people can get hiccups just as easily.
* [[Alcohol-Induced Idiocy]]: Alcohol is well known for its ability to decrease intellectual capacity while lowering inhibitions.
* [[Alcohol Is Poison]]: Alcohol is toxic to humans, but for most adult humans, in amounts well below the [[LD 50]], the "poisoning" produces enjoyable effects and no lasting damage. Once one gets near the [[LD 50]], one can die or be permanently sickened. In pregnant women and in children, the damage can occur much faster - causing fetal alcohol syndrome or death. Same for pets. And chronic overuse even below the [[LD 50]] can lead to lasting and permanent illness or even cancer.
* [[The Alleged Car]]: Chances are, you've either owned one, or you're too young to drive.
* [[All-Natural Snake Oil]]: "All natural" can refer to many things, from the beneficial to the deadly, and is a form of the [[Appeal to Nature]] fallacy.
