The most dangerous alcoholic drink for brain health has been revealed
Qazet.az reports that in their research on the effects of alcohol on health, published in "Neurology" magazine, scientists mentioned the drinks that cause strokes faster.
In a study conducted on the eating habits of 26,000 people, it was found that alcoholic beverages increase the risk of stroke by an average of 50 percent. Experts Andrew Smith, Martin O'Donnell and other co-authors of the study noted, however, that this figure varies depending on the type of drink.
The article states that people who drink alcohol have a significantly increased risk of developing any type of stroke, with a 50 percent increased chance of suffering a hemorrhagic stroke.
According to scientists, the most harmful drink was beer. Drinking it increases the risk of ischemic stroke by 21 percent and hemorrhagic stroke by 73 percent. At the same time, Smith and colleagues found that wine does not affect brain health. But that doesn't mean you can drink it in unlimited quantities, the researchers warned.
