Another way of reading this is to conclude that you can have a fun life full of drinking at the cost of 0.8% more brain degradation while you age. I wish they would put at least some effort into explaining their numbers, because that sounds like nothing, but I’m sure the authors have reason to think otherwise
- ZeroGravitas 5y agoThere's a whole bunch of headlines that can be read as "this is really big" or "our measurements are very precise".
- smabie 5y agoYeah, personally, seems worth it. I've had a lot of good times drinking, and if it means my brain degrades 80bps more, well then so be it! Everything has a cost and nothing is free and it's up to you to decide what decisions you are going to make. It really infuriates me when people think that a long and healthy life is something that we all should sacrifice everything for. As if the whole point of existence is to maximize those two metrics.
