In mice. The original paper has this in the title but the article version has stripped it.
Not to say this is useless research, but I was interested to see the ages and quantity involved. Surprised to see none of that was mentioned in the article. Feels like this article is giving false anxiety to people.
- OutOfHere 8mo agoThe article is a warning to those who drink alcohol, especially if it's to cope. The point is that drinking it then risks cognitive decline. This risk is best avoided by stopping drinking altogether. Yes, the study is in mice, but it still conveys an applicable risk to humans. In my experience, a lot of the need to cope is actually due to dirty indoor air. Aggressively using air filtration+ventilation to significantly drive down indoor pollution goes a long way. As for outdoor air, if exposed to significant outdoor pollution, masks help.
- Gigachad 8mo agoThe article version is overly alarmist in a way the source material isn't. We know alcohol is bad for you, what would be useful to know is what quantities, at what ages, translating in to what increase in risk. This just feels like telling someone if they had any amount of alcohol at "early adulthood" they have brain damage and there is nothing they can do about it.
