Drinking May Not Be So Bad, Say Scientists

Top neuroscientists have now said that alcohol does not kill brain cells (and yes, your body does make new brain cells), and that drinking moderately can be beneficial to your health.

Drinking May Not Be So Bad, Say Scientists

Neuroscientists say a recent report indicates moderate drinking may have a positive effect on the health of a person's brain.

Some of the world's top neuroscientists are meeting in Cairns, in far north Queensland, to discuss ground-breaking research that shows brain cells continue to grow throughout our lifetime.

Queensland Brain Institute director Professor Perry Bartlett says the report shows drinking alcohol does not kill off brain cells - and that drinking up to four standard glasses of wine a night might be beneficial.
