London (CNN)There is no such thing as a "safe" level of drinking, with increased consumption of alcohol associated with poorer brain health, according to a new study.
In an observational study, which has not yet been peer-reviewed, researchers from the University of Oxford studied the relationship between the self-reported alcohol intake of some 25,000 people in the UK, and their brain scans.
The researchers noted that drinking had an effect on the brain's gray matter -- regions in the brain that make up "important bits where information is processed," according to lead author Anya Topiwala, a senior clinical researcher at Oxford.

I’m screwed
… DUH?!
Drinking affects brain activity and cells? NO!
Now watch CNN tout the benefits of pot smoking
I can’t remember if they told us this before.
I assume the people who did this study have never drunk any alcohol. If they have, we must throw this study out the window.
Nancy Pelosi hardest hit!
Heck, a lot of drinking is done in order to forget, so what’s the problem?
I ain’t gots no dain bramage
It won't be long until she's tearing up her own bills thinking they are Trump's
In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers."
Suppose there’s not much use in cutting back.
Thanks. Mine works for me. : )
Glad i stopped huffing glue though. /s
explains that it. wait. umm.
Absurd teetotaler pseudoscience.
What if I wear a mask when I drink?
Garbage. It kills off weak brain cells, thus leaving you with a healthier brain.
A year or so later I read an article in the local paper saying his medical license was suspended because he suffered from organic brain damage due to alcohol abuse.
For me, I was noticing it. If you find you drink too much, it’s okay to stop before you get yourself in trouble. I did. I am grateful to wake up in the morning without that “oh, crap” feeling. For me, personally, it’s worth the sacrifice, and I find my brain and body getting better, clearer, stronger. For me, personally, I agree that alcohol has poisonous properties.Still love cigars!
I LMAO the 1st time I saw that dude! Still funny today, albeit with more truth to the fact that we know so much more about TBI’s.
