that doesn’t damage the body’s organs, according to new research.looked at MRI scans on thousands of middle aged drinkers and found that any amount of alcohol consumption was linked to reduced brain matter volume, higher levels of liver fat and increased heart ventricle mass – leading to conditions like Alzheimer’s and heart disease.
Current government advice says you shouldn’t have more than 14 units a week on a regular basis, equivalent to about six pints of regular lager or ten small glasses of wine, and that drinking should be spread over at least three days a week. ‘The UK’s drinking guidelines provide advice on ‘low-risk’ alcohol consumption, not ‘no-risk’ alcohol consumption,’ said Professor John Holmes of the Sheffield Alcohol Research Group at the University of Sheffield.
‘While this new study adds further evidence that drinking small amounts of alcohol is not risk-free, it does not provide any compelling reason to change the current guidelines.’King’s College London professor of genetic epidemiology Tim Spector also pointed out that the lack of a comparison group who did not drink made the MRI changes unclear.
