Even a tiny bit of drinking damages your brain, scientists say

EXCERPT: . . . But a new study out of the University of Oxford draws a stark conclusion that, if verified, could put a full stop on all the other caveats the research world has produced about drinking: That any amount of alchohol in the slightest is bad for your brain health. Bottoms… down?

The study is a preprint that has yet to receive a peer review, but its initial findings, summed up in the conclusion, are relatively stark, emphasis ours:

No safe dose of alcohol for the brain was found. Moderate consumption is associated with more widespread adverse effects on the brain than previously recognised… current ‘low risk’ drinking guidelines should be revisited to take account of brain effects.

The researchers analyzed data from the UK Biobank, described in the paper as the “world’s largest imaging sample.” The Guardian, where the study was first reported, characterized the Biobank as “a substantial database designed to help researchers decode the genetic and environmental factors that lead some people to develop diseases while others do not.”
