Question
Does alcohol actually kill brain cells and if so how much alcohol must you consume to kill off at least ten thousand of them?

It is not brain cells themselves but the nerve connections between them (called dendrites) which R most affected by alcohol.

finding reports of both "yes it does", and "no, just damages dendrites". seems to be bad for you in the long term, i.e. lifelong alcoholic

most recent research says that NO it does not actually kill brain cells, but does affect cell connections if drinking a lot. Bottoms up!!
