Does drinking alcohol shrink your brain?

What’s good for the heart may hurt the brain, according to a new study of the effects of alcohol.

*A small decline in brain volume, 2 percent a decade, is a natural part of aging
*Researchers hoped to find alcohol protected the brain from age-related shrinkage
*Instead, any level of alcohol consumption led to a decline in brain volume
*The effect was more pronounced in women than men
