Example. I drink one beer, I can go for another 2 before I get buzzed another drinks one beer and get completely messed up. It's the person, not the drug.

Don't let one experience for another person ruin your views on "drugs".

We aren't quite there yet, but lots of new research into neurogenesis is ongoing. Check this out.

We've been taught for generations that the adult brain doesn't create new brain cells. The cells you have at birth are about all you'll ever have, and a neuron lost is lost forever. Now, medical science has learned a different lesson.
Research over the last decade has produced growing evidence that the adult human brain creates new neurons, a process known as neurogenesis. Recent findings show that many of these new neurons survive and integrate themselves into the working brain, suggesting the potential for a self-healing brain. If researchers can harness and enhance neurogenesis, it could lead to improved treatments for many disorders, diseases, or damage -- from Alzheimer's and epilepsy to stroke and traumatic brain injury -- and it can help keep our minds and memories sharp.

Recent animal studies have shown a correlation between learning and new neurons surviving in the hippocampus. After teaching rodents a variety of tasks that engaged a range of brain areas, scientists found that, generally, the more the animal learned, the more neurons survived in the hippocampus. Cells that were born before the learning experience were more likely to survive to become neurons, but only if the animals actually learned. The increase in survival occurred with tasks that depended on the hippocampus as well as those that required significant effort to learn.

It can even kill you..

There's also something called the Mozart effect (no I'm not bullshitting you) that makes you smarter just by listening to Mozart, go search it up. (I'm not to sure about this one, but I thought I'd share it with you guys)

Also just for a first hand source, my music teacher told me when he was growing up he couldn't concentrate on one thing school wise and almost flunked many of his subjects. But then he started picking up on music and started playing a variety of instruments which strongly helped him in his academics, and even outside of school.
