Does drinking alcohol kill brain cells?

One of my friends told me it does, and that drinking is worse than smoking marijuana. Can anyone offer some insight?

Has anyone had a tummy tuck? What was your recovery like?

Answers:
There are some good longitudinal studies showing anything more than 2 ounces per day will decrease long-term cognitive function in men, and more than one ounce in women.

There is a form of dementia only present in alcoholics.

Alcohol worsens sleep patterns - decreasing short term cognitive function and is a depressant. Chronic depression can literally damage the brain.

I have seen CT scans of many brains of chorinc alcoholics - they have marked cortical atrophy ( the squiggly surface of the brain - thew white matter - it's what makes humans humans and not apes)

the answer is - ABSOLUTELY - in many ways.

Like all things in life the is room for alcohol in moderation. Most physicians agree 3 to 5 drinks a week (1 ounce = 1 drink) is reasonable and not likely to put you at risk.

The multiple studies suggesting daily alcohol consumption has benefits - wether blood thining or anti-oxidant all have major design flaws and are not reproducible.

Alcohol on a daily basis nad in excess is bad for you.

But it still tastes good! Cheers

Tattoo removal?

Yes. However, this is actually a good thing, as whatever doesn't kill you (or your brain cells), makes you (the remaining cells) stronger.

Alcohol is worse for you than marijuana. It's a toxic substance. It breaks down all of the cells in your body and causes serious damage to your liver. When people drink they're poisoning themselves everytime.
