- A new study examined the impact of alcohol consumption in healthy adults who did not report drinking more than the accepted ‘low-risk’ alcohol limits.
- Using MRI scans, the researchers found a correlation between higher alcohol intake and lower brain blood flow.
- Additionally, they saw that this effect was more pronounced in older adults.
Whether someone is grocery shopping or dining out, alcohol is almost everywhere. While moderate alcohol use is considered “low-risk,” more research is coming out that shows there may truly be no safe amount of alcohol.
A new study focused on healthy adults who consume alcohol moderately. The research team wanted to see if drinking has any neurological impact on adults who consume alcohol in a relatively “safe” way.
The findings are published in the journal Alcohol.
