drinking consequences

Heavy drinking is linked to earlier brain bleeding

In 1,600 people already hospitalized with spontaneous brain bleeds, heavy regular drinking was associated with earlier median age at onset (64 vs 75 years), larger hematomas, and MRI patterns suggesting more advanced small-vessel disease versus the non-HAU cohort. The Neurology study is cross-sectional and single-center, so it reports associations in admitted patients, not proof of direct causation for each finding.
