About Alcoholism - Alcoholism Information, Research and Treatment

GAINESVILLE, FLA.--Dr. Gernard Freund, a medical researcher, found that white mice that had been fed alcohol for months experienced a general deterioration of the brain function. The studies cast doubt on the common notion that the malnutrition often seen in skid-row alcoholics is the cause of the damage to brain functions. Even well-fed mice indicated loss of memory after consuming alcohol over a period of time.
