Want to shrink your brain size? It's easy--just try a few drinks :
Drinking alcohol does not just befuddle the brain, it may also cause it to shrink, according to a study.
Researchers found that just a few drinks every week could be enough to cause a decline in grey matter by middle age.
The study showed that moderate drinking did not reduce the risk of strokes, despite past findings to the contrary.
Heavy drinking is known to be linked to the loss of brain cells but the study links brain decline to moderate alcohol consumption as well.
What was that about the health benefits of drinking?
