A new study by Brazilian researchers highlights the dangers of heavy alcohol consumption, linking it to brain lesions and increased risk of cognitive issues and earlier death. Analyzing nearly 1,800 subjects' health records and autopsy results, the study categorized participants into four drinking patterns. While moderate drinkers exhibited lower risks of brain damage, former heavy drinkers still showed significant susceptibility to neurological issues, such as tau tangles linked to Alzheimer's. The study emphasizes the importance of understanding alcohol's impact on brain health.
"This makes it harder for blood to flow, which can damage the brain over time."
"Moderate drinkers and those who used to drink heavily but stopped appeared to have lower odds of developing brain lesions."
