QC FYI: Alcohol Shrinks Your Brain

Ahoy there, young tippler! Watch it… you may be making your big head and your little one the same size (and just as smart).
Wine may get better with age, but the wine drinkers won’t. The more alcohol you drink, the more your brain shrinks, a new study has found. “The take-home message is that, if you drink a lot, you’re going to hurt your brain,” said Rajesh Miranda, an associate professor of neuroscience and experimental therapeutics at the Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine. “This is something we knew, but this is a huge study that quantifies that.” According to the study, the more a person drank, the more their brain volume diminished. This relationship was somewhat more pronounced in women, although women tended to be lighter drinkers.
