What is everyone so concerned with? Light Drinking causes brain shrinkage?
For Goodness sake people, DON’T DRINK LIGHT BEER!!! 
Humans don’t utilize 100% of there brain cells, so we all have a few to play with anyway. Personally it’s my feeling that if you use as little of your brain as possible, you will have more of it when your older. Look at all the people who have been very smart during their youth, and in old age become senile.
Personally, having children I think is the worse thing you can do to your brain. I used to be able to think clearly and have smart thoughts before I had kids, and now I tend to sit in the corner babbling and drooling. 
I agree about the absurdity of Pop Science. It think it’s called Pop Science because once a theory is proposed, ‘POP’ it’s refuted and it disappears.
