Alcohol kills brain cells

          Do you like drinking?? Have you been told that drinking kills you brain cells??? I know that most of people here who read this article do like drinking and if you want to stop drink for that reason, I would tell you “Don’t do that”.
There are many claims of cons of drinking alcohol like drinking alcohol could get yourself on fire or drinking alcohol causes many disease. The claim of alcohol killing brain cells is one of that and has been long promoted in order to encourage people to stop drinking. This it is believed by lots of people because what people do is altered when they are drunk, so that they are afraid to drink alcohol. Indeed, alcohol actually causes liver diseases because it is a toxic for your livers, such as, liver failure, cancer etc. However, alcohol doesn’t kill any brain cells at all.
There is a study of this claim in 1993 by Grethe Jensen and co. The experiment was counting neurons in the brain sample of alcoholics and non-alcoholics. There was no significant difference in amount of neurons. This proved that alcohol doesn’t kill brain cells, but how come people get drunk while brain cells still alive??
When people drink alcohol and alcohol gets into the blood, it will damage tissue at the end of neurons call dendrites. Dendrites have a role to send messages to other nerve cells. This affects on learning skill at that time, coordination, so that people always stumble, slur or make bad decisions when they are drunk. Anyhow the damage done to neurons is reversible and this will induce to produce more brain cells.

            Still a lot of benefits of drinking alcohol for who want to stop drinking for other reasons though. For instant, drinking alcohol can lower your risks of your cardiovascular disease or heart disease. It will raise levels of good cholesterols, so your hearts will be better protected. Drinking can also lower chance of diabetes as well.

There are some claims that drinking alcohol is bad thing at all. To be honest, alcohol is good for your health, your brain if you don’t drink too much. For the claim of alcohol killing brain cells, it is wrong. If you are worried about your cleverness being worse, then don’t worried and keep drinking. It will not affect your brain at all. I would rather suggest you worry more about how crazy or funny you are when you are drunk. Big thanks for reading our blog.
