Good News: Beer Doesn’t Kill Brain Cells

May 25, 2011 By Jay Brooks

brain-2
You’ve probably heard this old saw your whole life, same as me, that “beer kills brain cells.” According to an item in this month’s Maxim, it turns out it just isn’t true. While alcohol can damage “neurons in the cerebellum that are responsible for motor control and memory, which helps create the impaired feeling we call … drunkenness,” the good news is that they will recover, and that “alcohol definitely won’t ‘kill’ them.” Although the supporting evidence is not given, the short snippet does say it’s supported by “numerous studies.” Whew, that’s a relief.
