Drinking lots is bad for you

They probably paid a lot of money for this report.

In other news, Pope still Catholic, experts say. Also, Bears content to defecate in woods.

Actually reading it to the bottom you get this:

"Our message is: Drink in moderation. Heavy drinking damages your brain ever so slightly, reducing your cognitive functioning in ways that may not be readily noticeable. To be safe, don't overdo it."

Meyerhoff said that for most adults, moderate alcohol use translates to up to two drinks per day for younger men, and one drink per day for women and older people.


Two drinks per day is 60 drinks per month. So the difference, then, between good drinking and brain damage is 40 drinks, or about 20 pints, or one good party, or two fun nights out.
