But what they found with studies is that when you cry, actually, it changes the ratio of activity in your parasympathetic and your sympathetic nervous system. So one of these is kind of your fight or flight instinct, right? And one is kind of your just kind of relaxing instinct.

And one of the things that tears seem to do is they amp up that fight or flight instinct, and then they suddenly quiet it down. So again, I think it does have some evidence there to back up your idea that Crying really kind of keeps you in this safe range.

It is a good way to realize what is important in life. This is how we realize that a relationship is important to us, right? Because we say goodbye to that person and we feel sad and we cry. This is how we realize that we loved that movie because we laughed so hard that we cried. It's just a great signifier. It can tell you so much about how you actually feel.

And what this drink does basically, it basically causes people to experience the most excruciating nausea they've ever experienced in their entire lives.
