Alcohol intake can cause irreversible damage

Research suggests that drinking large amounts over a short period of time can damage a crucial part of brains.






According to researchers, consuming high amount of alcohol in a short time can cause irreversible damage and in the long run, youngsters can become absent-minded and forgetful, reports express.co.uk. :bleh:

Previous studies have found that high levels of alcohol act as poison and prevent the brain from working properly.

Scientists have now found that excess alcohol can actually destroy grey matter called the hippocampus, which stores and recalls events and forms mental images, known as spatial reasoning.


The findings are published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
