"Big Nami" indeed.

Marchiafava-Bignami disease.

Booze rots your brain.

No, literally.

Marchiafava-Bignami is commonly found in alcoholics. It's when more than half of the corpus callosum have become necrotic. Dead tissue. Rotted away. The corpus callosum connects the left and right brain. Presumably this allows the two brains (left being systemic, logical, cold - right being emotional, artistic, warm) to function together properly.

What does drinking have to do with it, though?
