It's common knowledge that alcohol is neurotoxic, but my looks through Google and Wikipedia haven't really come up with any solid studies showing whether or not it is neurotoxic, and, if so, which parts of the brain it damages.

So, TOTSE, which parts of your brain does alcohol damage?

i literally googled your question.

Some studies show that one or two drinks a day help with memory and concentration, I'm not sure why though. But it's just common sense that large, frequent doses of alcohol are bad for your brain. Just look at any alcoholic you know.
