for every drink that one has on a regular basis when you go from zero to one drink per week there's more brain atrophy thinning of the gray matter cortex you go from one to two more thinning you go from two to three and there's a near linear relationship between the amount that people are drinking and the amount of brain atrophy

Consuming just 0.5-1 drinks per day is linked to reduced overall brain volume Includes both gray matter and white matter
Consuming between 1 and 2 standard drinks per day is linked to reduced gray matter and white matter volume.
Increasing the daily dose to 2–3 drinks, 3–4 drinks, or 4 or more drinks further reduces gray and white matter volume.
