A recent study revealed shocking results that may cause binge drinkers to think twice before picking up that first drink amounts of alcohol. Researchers at University of California San Diego found that individuals who consume more than 4 drinks in one sitting (for females) and 5 drinks in one sitting (for males) have a deficiency of white matter in their brains. White matter is made of axons which carry messages between neurons. The damage causes lower levels of brain organization and slower response time.
Heavy episodic or “binge” drinking is common among San Diego’s young adult population with 55% of those in the study reporting binge drinking within the past two weeks. Unlike a hangover, the damage is permanent and irreparable. If you think you may have a problem with alcohol please contact La Jolla Recovery.
Well-written. Thanks. As someone who has struggled with an addiction myself, I really appreciate what Craig Ferguson has to say about it. If you’d like to see my blog it’s here. Thanks again for this blog - it is really well-done.
