Wine Is Worse for Brain than Beer

Scientists claim that drinking wine damages the brain more than beer or spirits.

According to their opinion it affects the hippocampus, the part of the brain which is located deep within the brain’s temporal lobes, is up to 10 per cent smaller in those who drank wine.

Moderate wine drinking has been linked to a host of health benefits, including reducing cholesterol and high blood pressure.

But research in the International Journal of Cancer last year claimed just one glass of wine a day could increase the risk of bowel cancer by 10 per cent, and over-consumption of any alcohol can lead to increased risk of kidney and liver disease, long-term brain damage and organ failure.
