Study: Even 2 to 3 beers a week may cause brain changes, cognitive decline
A new study suggests that even moderate drinking may be linked to brain changes and cognitive decline.
July 14, 2022 / 2:07 PM Study: Even 2 to 3 beers a week may cause brain changes, cognitive decline By Judy Packer-Tursman
July 14 (UPI) -- People who drink in moderation faced sobering news on Thursday from a large British research study: Even that amount of imbibing may be linked to brain changes and cognitive decline.
Specifically, drinking seven or more "units" of alcohol per week is associated with higher iron levels in the brain -- and iron accumulation is linked with Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. It also is seen as a potential mechanism for alcohol-related cognitive decline...

To the best of our knowledge, this study represents the largest investigation of moderate alcohol consumption and iron homeostasis to date. Alcohol consumption above 7 units weekly associated with higher brain iron. Iron accumulation represents a potential mechanism for alcohol-related cognitive decline.
Anya Topiwala and colleagues investigate the observational and genetic associations of alcohol intake with measures of iron levels in the brain and liver, and cognitive function among UK Biobank participants.
