It’s not just your liver you should worry about – alcohol has been found to change humans’ cerebral anatomy. Here’s what you need to know.

At the end of a busy week, I’m dreaming of getting home, opening the fridge and pouring myself a glass of a crisp, white wine. On nights out with friends, I look forward to sipping on cocktails. Inevitably, the night ends with a couple of shots.

When too many of these occasions cluster together, I always commit to cutting back the following week “to give my liver a break”. That’s the only organ I ever pay much mind to when it comes to drinking, as, famously, alcohol kills off liver cells. I’m guilty, as I presume many others are, of not thinking about how drinking is hitting my brain.

A large study of drinkers in the UK shows that drinking two or more units of alcohol a day is associated with shrinking and premature ageing of the brain

Each extra drink makes the shrinking worse. ‘The difference between zero and four alcoholic drinks was more than 10 years of ageing,’ one of the scientists says

No need 3 glasses. One glass is enough to do the brain shrinking job. Not only the brain shrinks, you blood capillaries shrunk almost instantly the moment you drank a glass and takes a few hours to relax back.

So drink little wine good for health is BS?
