CNN (5/19, Woodyatt) reports, “There is no such thing as a ‘safe’ level of drinking, with increased consumption of alcohol associated with poorer brain health,” investigators concluded in “an observational study [pdf], which has not yet been peer-reviewed.” The study examined “the relationship between the self-reported alcohol intake of some 25,000 people in the UK, and their brain scans,” revealing that “the more people drank, the less the volume of their gray matter.” Researchers also found that “consuming any amount of alcohol was worse than not drinking it.”
