A new study from John Hopkins University suggests that people who drink alcohol moderately - seven to 14 drinks a week - are likely to suffer from shrunken brains.
That's right. Despite the research over the years suggesting that moderate alcohol consumption can actually be good for you, helping to prevent diseases like stroke, this particular study says that the opposite is true - that people who drink moderately have smaller brains than people who don't drink at all or infrequently, and that it has no impact on the likelihood of stroke.
The study was published in a medical journal called Stroke.

We didn’t know they were being literal when they called us small-minded…
On the whole, we think we're going to stick with the French Paradox as our rule of thumb. Just seems like more fun…
