New research found that two or three alcoholic drinks may clear the brain from toxins because alcohol helps to deliver a harmful waste substances from the brain. Small amounts of an alcohol, of the order of 2.5 smaller drinks or their equivalent, can help the brain to be cleared from the plaques which are believed to cause Alzheimer's disease. They also help to reduce inflammation in the brain.

Dr Mike Nedergaard, lead author of the study, explains that "Long-term administration of large amounts of ethanol to cause adverse effects on the central nervous system. But in this study we have shown for the first time in the world that low doses of alcohol have the potential to be useful for brain health, mainly by way helps the brain clear from waste products. "

The study helps support the hypothesis of some scientists that small amounts of alcohol can be beneficial to the body in certain situations. During the study, the researchers have given various amounts of alcohol on laboratory mice, and then studied the effect of taking on their brains .

Those which have been administered higher amounts of alcohol for long periods of time, have been shown to increase the levels of contaminating brain inflammation. They also showed impaired cognitive and motor functions. However, in the mice which have been given a low dose, equivalent to 2.5 small drinks per day, the brain has become more efficient in the removal of their waste materials as compared to the brains of other mice.
