"For years, researchers have observed that alcohol consumption is associated with reduced brain volume and concluded that drinking can literally shrink the brain. But new research turns that theory on its head, suggesting that reduced brain volume may represent a genetically-conferred predispositional risk factor for heavier alcohol consumption. "Our results suggest that associations between alcohol consumption and reduced brain volume are attributable to shared genetic factors," said senior author Ryan Bogdan, associate professor of psychological and brain sciences in Arts & Sciences and director of the Brain Lab at Washington University in St. Louis, where the research is based. "Lower brain volume in specific regions may predispose a person to greater alcohol consumption…"
