Brain can repair alcohol’s damage

POSTED: 10:55 a.m. EST, December 18, 2006

LONDON, England (Reuters) – Excessive drinking can damage brain cells but the brain can repair some of the harm, a team of international researchers said on Monday.

But they warned that alcoholics should get sober as quickly as possible because the longer they continue to drink heavily, the less likely their brains will be able to regenerate.

“The core message from this study is that, for alcoholics, abstinence pays off and enables the brain to regain some substance and to perform better,” said Dr Andreas Bartsch, of the University of Wuerzburg, in Germany.

The combination of booze and a high G generation whistle would cause more lasting damage, methinks…
