Alcohol Equals Brain Damage

For years abstainers have warned beverage alcohol kills brain cells.  Now there is more evidence of alcohol causing damage to the brain. 

 From a May 20, 2021 foxnews.com article: 

 Any amount of alcohol can cause damage to the brain, and more so than previously realized, according to a study in what researchers call one of the largest of its kind to date.

 The preliminary findings from Oxford University were recently posted to medRxiv ahead of peer review, drawing on clinical data and imaging samples from over 25,000 adults in the U.K. Biobank study. Subjects were aged 40 to 69 years when they were first recruited from 2006 to 2010.

 ‘No safe dose of alcohol for the brain was found. Moderate consumption is associated with more widespread adverse effects on the brain than previously recognized,’ the study reads. ‘Individuals who binge drink or with high blood pressure and BMI may be more susceptible. Detrimental effects of drinking appear to be greater than other modifiable factors. Current ‘low risk’ drinking guidelines should be revisited to take account of brain effects.’”

 The attitude of many who don’t drink is they cannot afford to lose any brain matter.  I agree.  Stay away from alcohol.  You will find many more reasons at this site (gulfcoastpastor.blogspot.com) to avoid recreational drugs of all kinds. 

 No wonder God’s Word says:  

 Wine is a mocker, strong drink is a brawler, and whoever is led astray by it is not wise.  -Proverbs 20:1 NKJV

 Be sober.  -1 Peter 5:8; 1 Thessalonians 5:6
