I'd be interested to know what 3 times more mean. If your chance of brain damage is 0.5% normally and jumps to 1.5% with moderate drinking, that isn't too bad.

- magicalist 9y agoYeah, I hate when they do leave that out. If I'm reading Table 3 in the study correctly, when accounting for a bunch of possible variables (sex, age, exercise, etc), for every 10 units of alcohol consumed per week over 30 years you'd expect to see .19% decrease in hippocampal volume (0.08% to 0.30% decrease at 95% CI)
- nurettin 9y agoNow all that remains is to figure out how much reduction in hippocampal volume turns you into donald duck.
