The research indicates that adults who drink in moderation are not in danger of losing brain cells. I wonder if "moderate" is defined as "liberal" as so often is on FR?
In that case, I'm confused. I'll help my brain cells decide with another coconut rum and diet coke. ;)

Its the slowest and weakest brain cells that get killed off anyway.
So I figure, on average, drinking makes me smarter. :0)

I think alcohol in moderation can be very good for most people. The Bible says "a little wine is good for the stomach". Wine has been proven to have all kinds of health benefits and I think it leads to healthier living overall.
Drunkenness is bad and you don't need to know that it kills brain cells to figure out why.
But doing ANYTHING immoderately is a bad idea.

All studies regarding people of European ancestry indicate that drinking is good for you, up to 21 drinks per week for your average man. After 28 drinks per week you start incurring risk of associated health problems.
I say European people as, for example, Asian people produce a lot less of the enzyme needed to deal with alcohol (my Chinese friend turns red as a lobster), and perhaps there are differences in other ethnic groups as well. So don't drink regularly if you are non-european ancestry unless you check the research, if there is any.
The brain regenerates and the level of alcohol Will only be high enough to kill brains cells in binge drinking.
Must keep in mind that there is decided bias in science as well as the media with respect to what discoveries they will report or discredit.
So cheers!
