In a recent study done by Megan Anderson and Tracey Shors it's been shown that regular alcohol intake can cause your brain's cell development to decrease. In the study where they made mice have a blood alcohol level of 0.08 (the same as the legal driving limit in the US) it decreased new cell development in the hippocampus of nearly 40 percent! The hippocampus is a region in the brain that make new cells and plays a critical role in learning new things. They are saying men who drink 14 or more drinks a week, and women who drink seven, are believed to be at-risk drinkers; and 70% involve adults 26 and older. "This research indicates that social or daily drinking may be more harmful to brain health than what is now believed by the general public," said Anderson.
