Until you take the studies on gray matter (~ neurons) thinning into account and then it’s <2 per week and zero is better than any but do as you see right for you!

We can't find evidence that holds up here. Proponents are reasoning from mechanism or analogy rather than direct human data, and the most credible skeptics raise objections we can't dismiss.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
What they found was that even for people that were drinking low to moderate amounts of alcohol, so one or two drinks per day, there was evidence of thinning of the neocortex, so loss of neurons in the neocortex, and other brain regions.
for many years, it's been known that high levels of alcohol consumption, so 12 to 24 drinks per week or more, is certainly causing neurodegeneration, in particular of the so-called neocortex, the outer layers of the brain that house associative memories, that house our ability to think and plan, that house our ability to regulate our more primitive drives according to context, et cetera.
we also know that alcohol can lower your testosterone and increase your estrogen by promoting a romanization of Androgen
researchers found a strong association between low levels of alcohol consumption an average of one to two drinks per day and shrinkage of the neocortex of the brain
even one drink a day can be Associated average over a course of a week seven drinks a week can be associated with um you know regression or thinning of important brain regions that you need to function as a human
we definitely know that two drinks a day or three drinks a day 21 drinks a week is associated with thinning of brain regions
even small amounts of alcohol one to two drinks a day seven to fourteen drinks per week have been associated with thinning of the neocortex the in the brain
small amounts of alcohol one to two drinks a day can thin the neocortex can be damaging for the brain
there's really solid evidence that even lowlevel consumption of alcohol one two drinks a day over the course of a week longterm can thin the neocortex of the brain brain atrophy and we know that even small amounts of alcohol are harmful for the gut causing opening of The Gap Junctions in the gastrointestinal epithelium which is colloquially known as leaky gut
even small doses of alcohol per week, one drink per week, one drink per night average per week, thin the neoortex of the brain.
