E90: New Study Finds Just One Drink Shrinks Your Brain, or Does it?


Listen Later

 Gill discusses the new study that was published a few days ago about how even just one drink a day can shrink your brain. She explains what this study found, how the study was performed, and what she thinks of the results. She relates this to studies about how alcohol is healthy and teaches you how to identify whether a study's results are fact or just an association.
