What happened
Alcohol consumption is aging the brain faster than previously thought. A new study has found that alcohol consumption, even at moderate levels, does not provide any protective effects for heart health. This contradicts decades of advice that moderate drinking could be beneficial.
Neurologists have warned that alcohol consumption accelerates brain aging. The Washington Post and Yahoo both ran stories with the same title, Here’s what happens to your brain when you stop drinking alcohol. However, the relationship between alcohol and health is complex.
The same study that found no protective effects for the heart also did not specify what happens to the brain when alcohol consumption stops. Meanwhile, Verywell Health has published an article about the effects of coconut water on the kidneys, suggesting a broader interest in the impacts of various beverages on health.
