New Study: Drinking Any Amount Of Alcohol Is Harmful To The Brain
I believe it was Frank Sinatra, Ol Blue Eyes himself, who uttered the famous quote, Alcohol may be man s worst enemy, but the bible says love your enemy. Well, as it turns out, alcohol may be even worse of an enemy to mankind than previously thought, according to a new study.
A recent observational study, conducted by the University of Oxford, shows there is no such thing as a safe level of drinking with even “moderate” drinking adversely affecting nearly every part of the brain.
The study, which is still to be peer-reviewed, suggests that the more alcohol consumed, the lower the brain volume. In effect, the more you drink, the worse off your brain.

Dear Amy: I am a new mom with two 1-year-old babies.
My wife and I love being moms, but I am pretty heartsick that due to the pandemic, none of my family members have met our fast-growing babies in person.
For the first year, I took this in stride and assumed that visits would be possible in 2021 â after vaccinations.
We are an eight-hour flight away from our family, and driving is not possible.
I donât feel comfortable taking our unmasked babies on a long flight (safety-wise).
However, my family members are either unwilling to vaccinate, or are vaccinated, but with no plans to visit.
