There is no safe amount of alcohol consumption for the brain, with even “moderate” drinking adversely affecting nearly every part of it, a study of more than 25,000 people in the UK has found.

The study, which is still to be peer-reviewed, suggests that the more alcohol consumed, the lower the brain volume. In effect, the more you drink, the worse off your brain.

“There’s no threshold drinking for harm – any alcohol is worse. Pretty much the whole brain seems to be affected – not just specific areas, as previously thought,” said the lead author, Anya Topiwala, a senior clinical lecturer at the University of Oxford.

I personally respect the decision of those who still drink alcohol and have taken the precepts, and yet I think the Buddha made it a clear precept to keep.

That's interesting. I read these almost similar research findings last year: https://www.sciencedaily.com/release...0824103018.htm
