Drinking alcohol boosts the growth of new nerve cells in the brain, research suggests.
But while this might sound good in theory, the Swedish team believe these new cells could contribute to the development of alcohol dependence.
Mice fed moderate quantities of alcohol grew extra brain cells, but also showed a preference for alcohol over water.
The Karolinska Institute research appears in the International Journal of Neuropsychopharmacology.
Brain growth
Lead researcher Professor Stefan Brene said: "We believe that the increased production of new nerve cells during moderate alcohol consumption can be important for the development of alcohol addiction and other long-term effects of alcohol on the brain."
Alternatively, the extra cells might help with learning and memory, he said.
Another theory, according to the researchers, is that the tranquilising effect of alcohol triggers the growth.
All of the new cells developed normally.
A spokeswoman from the Campaign for Real Ale said: "It is well known that alcohol in moderation is good for your body so it's no surprise it's also good for your mind.
"Maybe that is why lots of pub quiz teams are so bright."
A spokeswoman from Alcohol Concern said: "This type of study could prove useful in the long term to shed light on the relationship between alcohol intake and dependency.
"However, very little can be drawn from a single animal-based study at this stage.
"Much more research is needed to explore the relationship between drinking patterns and their effect on the human brain."
LOL
I would say that's a good observation. Thanks for the laugh. lol
No wonder I got such a big head.
Oh...sure! You guys stay up half the night trying desperately to make yourselves into Einsteins and leave the mess for me to clean up in the morning!
ROFLMAO!!
Yes. We partied heartily. But then I had to go and embarass dasher by wearing a lamp shade on my head on another thread! I think she hates me now. :o(
that would explain my 7 7/8ths sized head now wouldnt it :)
Looks like you were right and all of the goodie goodies were wrong.
Rock on, Pissant!
Nah....she's getting her revenge by posting the infamous pissant picture all over the Internet.....see?
HERE!!!
PS... It's 7am where I live... That's early enough.
I woke up at 6 - but had to watch Hogan's Heroes first.
(sigh) I used to really love that show.
Is it raining? Are you going to be flying today?
1900 foot ceilings right now.
Too low for what I do - but... it can either get better... or get worse.
It's a waiting game every weekend.
Thanks for asking.
Hey, even the moderator jumped in an admonished me. And the truth of the matter was, ONLY PISSANT had any invective thrown his way. But after I saw your third "Pissant Stop" post, I had to give it a rest.
LOL. She's in big trouble for posting my picture!
It's gonna rain! You should have had another drink! Then we both woulda got in trouble!
I don't get into spitting matches with virtual spitters.
Did you see my post on that thread?
I've got your back.
I expected more from you.
;-)
Dating is fun....
hehe
well it was probably up around the size 8 1/4ths, but I didnt drink too much this past year in Iraq :P
I think it's kinda cool, (though personally, my feet stay on the ground) and how disappointed you were at the forecast last night.
Hopefully, it will clear up and you can get in some air time!
Thanks. You are a good friend to have in the foxhole!!
(for a variety of reasons)
Pssst...
Don't tell anyone - but that's where the boys are... that's another reason why it's fun.....
As you can imagine, there aren't a lot of women running around at the local aerodrome.
;-)
