According to an article in the Los Angeles Times, the more people drink the smaller their brains are. According to “researchers” on Tuesday, drinking moderate amounts of alcohol may accelerate the process of brain shrinkage that usually comes with aging.
A study by Archives of Neurology stated that people who drank one to seven drinks a week had slightly smaller brains than nondrinkers. The affects were especially pronounced in women.
This new study causes me to question the validity of facts given by the Times. I feel like the Times do not give an alternative for the reader to inquire about the new theory/ idea that was state in the article.
