A study carried out by the University of Pennsylvania, in the United States, and published in Nature shows that drinking alcohol daily can have a direct impact on the brain. According to the study, drinking just one daily dose of alcohol can reduce brain size and the situation can worsen if the habit involves larger amounts of alcohol.
Nearly 37,000 European adults and seniors were divided into two groups. In the first were people who reported taking one to two doses. While in the second there were people who consume more than four doses a day.

The conclusion of the study, which analyzed the brain images of the volunteers, is that in all groups, even those who drank little, registered a decrease in brain volume.
According to Olhar Digital, scientists rated a beer or a glass of wine as the equivalent of two units. A distillate shot (like whiskey, for example) was defined as a unit.
The result is that participants who drank one or two units a day already showed some changes in brain structure.
For those who consumed three units a day, a more significant decrease in white and gray matter was detected, with the perception that the organ was 3.5 years older. Finally, for those who reported drinking more than four units a day, the problem is even more serious: the brain has been shown to age more than 10 years.
