> Single episode of heavy drinking tied to Brain Atrophy in Young Adults
From the first paragraph:
> However, it was unclear whether and how a single episode of extreme drinking in young adults could affect brain structure. The study, assessed participants before and after a single episode of extreme drinking — consuming more than four to five alcohol-containing beverages in a single episode — scanning the brain for changes.

> The MRI scans found changes to participants' brains that appeared to be specifically associated with their alcohol use during these celebrations.

The 17 participants who had experienced a blackout showed greater loss of volume in this brain region than those who did not.
