Zero alcohol is better than any amount. Andrew Huberman’s practical ceiling for people who aren’t dealing with alcohol use disorder: two drinks per week. Beyond that, data from the UK Brain Bank shows a measurable pattern, every extra drink per week is linked to a bit more brain atrophy... show more

Andrew Huberman dropped a very direct take on alcohol. Alcohol is poison. Zero is better than any amount. If you drink, two per week should be your absolute ceiling. Beyond that, UK Brain Bank data shows measurable brain shrinkage and nerve loss with every extra drink. We love the idea of “moderate is fine,” but the brain imaging data is getting harder to ignore. Every extra glass quietly chips away at your brain over time. Do you think two drinks a week is realistic, or is zero the smarter long-term move?

The largest brain-imaging study ever conducted on alcohol found measurable reductions in brain volume even at low levels of consumption A large-scale UK Biobank study of nearly 37,000 people found that daily consumption of even half a beer or a small glass of wine significantly affects brain structure Both gray matter (which contains neuronal cell bodies crucial for cognition) and white matter (vital for connectivity) are negatively impacted This research clearly shows that no level of regular alcohol intake is entirely safe for your brain

This Is What Alcohol Does to Your Brain (and why zero is better than any) Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D. (01:25) When it comes to alcohol, do as you wish... but know what you're doing (01:54) 0-2 drinks per week? You're probably fine (02:41) A lot of the negative effects of alcohol are due to sleep & microbiome disruptions (03:24) The amount of gray matter (neurons in the brain) thinning starts to increase as you get out past 2 drinks per week (04:08) Zero is probably better than any. You don't need to drink alcohol if you don't want to. (05:07) "To me, it's clear that if you care very much about your brain that more than 2 drinks per week on a consistent basis, probably not a good idea." (06:01) 4-7 drinks per week? There's no debate. It just isn't good for you (gray matter thinning, gut disruptions, sleep disruptions, etc.) (07:24) Once you get past 1 drink/day = higher incidence of cancers (especially in women)

Never normalize alcohol use on social media. It can trigger persons trying to quit the habit or those who are abstinent get back on the destructive path. Look at this guy as an example. He is everything a human being must not be. He has a huge following on Instagram and this video has been watched by more than 100K people. He calls himself "Ashdin Doctor." People may think he is actually a Doctor, but "Doctor" is his surname. He has a Bachelors degree in Arts and Masters in Marketing Management. But here he is, advising people how to drink alcohol the right way. This video is utter garbage. His advice is targeted at preventing "dehydration" due to alcohol consumption. Dehydration is NOT the ONLY issue with alcohol consumption. Here are real issues with alcohol use whether or not, you choose to drink more water in between. 1. Alcohol use has been consistently linked to an increased risk of cancer. The type of alcohol - beer, wine, vodka or rum, does not change this risk. Even those who consume one drink per day have an increased risk. Even low dose of alcohol over short and long periods increases risk of terrible cancers. Cancers of the head & neck, esophagus (food pipe), liver, breast and colon/rectum are strongly linked to alcohol use. & & 2. Even occassional or low dose alcohol use such as one to two drin ks a day or few drinks in a week reduces the brain volume. Drinking one to two alcohol drinks a day increases brain aging: it "ages" the brain faster, by 2 years. If it is two to three drinks a day, then the brain changes are equivalent to brain shrinking and aging faster by three and half years. & 3. Even low/modest alcohol use reduces fertility in women and men. Lower chances of getting pregnant and the risk for reduced live births in women and due to fertility issues in men has been strongly linked to alcohol use - low doses and worsens with modest increments. & 4. Alcohol use is associated with male to female partner violence, perpetration and victimization of violence and early-childhood trauma & & 5. That low dose/modest daily alcohol use improves survival or increases life expectancy has been swept away into the garbage with a recent high powered metanalysis paper. No level of alcohol use is beneficial for human health. And recent studies show that increasing level of alcohol kills women more than men for the same dose and duration of use. Look for credible sources for healthcare information. Develop a critical thinking to filter medical/healthcare information for your benefit. A normal person would never make a video on how to drink alcohol. Alcohol is a known poison. A person may have many followers and well-edited videos and click-bait titles. But remember, they have nothing to lose if YOU get into harms way. The best part is, Ashdin Doctor, the Instagram influencer is a "Habit Coach" (FFS) and has written a children's book, titled The "Book of Good Habits For Kids" - but here he is, advising his followers how to drink alcohol better. There is some real cognitive dissonance happening and people must learn to spot such fakes on social media. IVM Podcasts should grow a brain before they host such unintelligent life forms on your platform. Stay informed and stay safe.

No alcohol is best, but if you drink, limit it to 2–3 drinks per week max. Andrew Huberman was direct: Alcohol disrupts the first half of your sleep and physical repair. The “red wine is healthy” argument doesn’t hold, you’d need to drink all day for any meaningful resveratrol benefit. Hard drugs like cocaine, amphetamines, and opioids are far worse, they flood your brain with unearned dopamine and make normal life feel flat. Large meta-analyses (including The Lancet 2018) show that no level of alcohol is risk-free. Even light drinking (1–2 drinks per week) is associated with higher all-cause mortality and increased cancer risk compared to complete abstainers.

Even light drinking may be shrinking your brain One study study found that consuming as little as one to two units of alcohol per day—equivalent to about half to one standard U.S. drink—was linked to measurable reductions in brain volume This includes losses in white matter, which connects critical brain regions, and gray matter, essential for processing information Heavy drinking worsens the impact, with neuronal loss in areas tied to memory, emotion, and navigation

Alcohol is a known carcinogen, not just “empty calories” Even one drink a day nudges a woman’s breast cancer risk higher, and sustained moderate intake (1–3 drinks per day) can push lifetime risk from 1 in 8 toward roughly 1 in 4 Heavy drinking raises mouth and throat cancer risk about five-fold, and roughly five drinks per week has a cancer impact similar to smoking 4–5 cigarettes per week for men and 10 for women Cutting out the daily drink (and keeping alcohol to rare, occasional use) is one of the simplest ways to meaningfully lower long-term cancer risk

Andrew Huberman on Bill Maher dropped this one: “Alcohol is worse than pot.” Zero is best. For most non-alcoholics, the upper limit before you start raising cancer risk — especially breast cancer in women — is about two drinks per week. Not per night. Per week. Even moderate drinking messes with your sleep quality, wrecks your gut microbiome, and quietly raises other risks. New studies keep confirming it. Huberman’s take: If you enjoy drinking, at least know what you’re trading. Offset it with morning sunlight, exercise, and better food. We treat alcohol like harmless fun, but it might be one of the most damaging socially accepted habits we have. Many people notice significantly better sleep and daily energy after cutting back. What about you — have you changed how much you drink after seeing the latest research, or do you still think the occasional drink is basically fine?

How Does Alcohol Affect Your Health? A new study (PMID: 38289182) examined the effect of alcohol consumption on health & this study attempted to correct some of the issues with earlier studies. Many studies include ‘false abstainers’ which are people who do not currently drink alcohol, but used to drink a lot. In these studies, it’s common to see that light to moderate drinking appears to have a protective effect on health, but this may be because people who drink ‘no alcohol’ in these studies, many of them used to be heavy drinkers who now abstain & thus they may have underlying health issues from their previous drinking. This study attempted to isolate out TRUE abstainers from alcohol consumption as controls to compare to light/moderate/heavy drinking The takehome of this study was that low amounts of alcohol are not protective, but they also do not appear to be very detrimental either. When we say low, that was defined as between 1 drink per week & 2 drinks per day. Intakes of alcohol above this showed linear increases in mortality risk The take home is we know alcohol is not great for you. At low intakes the risk is probably pretty small, but you probably should minimize drinking as much as possible if you’d like to reduce your risk of mortality

Rhonda Patrick now takes 10 grams of creatine per day — double the standard dose. Why? Once your muscles are saturated at 5g, the extra starts reaching your brain. German research showed 10g meaningfully raises brain creatine levels. Even more striking: 20–30g can completely erase the cognitive damage from 21 hours of sleep deprivation — and in some cases, people performed better than when fully rested. Rhonda uses the higher dose on jet-lagged or high-demand days and says she no longer gets the usual mid-afternoon crash. Many of her vegan friends report more energy and needing less sleep after starting. Creatine is quietly shifting from “muscle supplement” to powerful brain performance tool. Have you tried higher-dose creatine (above 5g)? Did you notice changes in energy, focus, or sleep needs?

Why I upped my creatine dose to 10 grams per day. I used to take 5 grams of creatine daily, which provides solid benefits for muscle strength and performance (when combined with resistance training). Recently, I increased my dose to 10 grams, and here’s why I made the switch. Research suggests that 10 grams of creatine per day may offer additional advantages, particularly for brain health. Studies show that this higher dose increases creatine levels in areas like the grey matter, white matter, and thalamus more effectively than lower doses, such as 4 grams, over an 8-week period. This is likely due to a "spillover effect", where excess creatine benefits the brain once muscles are fully saturated. While 5 grams is effective for physical performance, 10 grams seems to provide a broader range of benefits, including potential cognitive support and bone health. If you’re considering creatine supplementation and want to maximize its effects, a 10-gram daily dose could be worth exploring.

Alcohol industry exposed! Every single food and drink company right from biscuits, noodles, chocolates, chips soft drinks all HAVE TO display a nutrition label. But the alcohol industry does NOT have to display any label. Even though water has 0 calories, it is still mandatory for packaged drinking water to display nutrition label. Then why does alcohol have no nutrition label? The answer is lobbying. Alcohol companies strongly lobby for the government to not have labels be mandatory. I understand that even if there was a label, it wouldn’t stop drinkers, but instead of having 3-4 drinks, they would cut back a little bit. Not only nutrition labels, alcohol industry does not even have clear warning labels. Just the way cigarettes display a clear warning label, there should be one for alcohol outlining its health risks. Alcohol has become a rampage amongst the youth in India and we need to get together to reduce it’s consumption! That’s why I started a petition to have the government make it mandatory for both of these labels to be on every alcohol bottle. Sign, share, and be a part of the movement!

Bill Maher once asked: “Isn’t alcohol worse than everything?” Andrew Huberman basically answered: yeah. Zero alcohol is best. If you drink, two drinks per week is roughly the upper limit before risks start climbing — higher cancer odds (especially breast cancer), worse sleep quality, and gut microbiome damage. Huberman isn’t a teetotaler. He says do what you want, but know the trade-offs. Drinking is already trending down as people realize the hidden costs. His practical advice: keep it minimal and offset any damage with morning sunlight, exercise, and solid nutrition — especially as you age when recovery matters more. It’s a sobering reality check on that casual nightly glass of wine. Where do you stand — strict limits, occasional drinks, or cutting it out entirely?

Long rant, but worth it, please read & share. A bunch of businessmen, some quite famous, sit around a table discussing the "business of alcohol." So far so good. Alcohol is good business, a business that leech out others life. It rakes in money for governments through taxation & monopoly; and fattens the bank accounts of those behind the industry (like this round table group) and makes barons out of those who sell well. But when these businessmen, start glorifying their business of alcohol by equating it to "good healthcare intervention," it goes definitely into the realm of health misinformation, which is why, I have to keep discussing this absolutely garbage myth that "alcohol in moderation is good for you" and the absolute nonsense disclaimer to support that myth, which they call "drink responsibly." You know, first of all, it is easy for these rich men and women to glorify their alcohol business and discuss their high flying life, because "God" forbid, if they ever land with diseases related to alcohol - from strokes, to cancers to liver disease to mental health disorder - they can afford the best care out there. I treat alcohol use disorder and related acute liver disease, chronic liver failure and acute-on-chronic liver failure (the most devastating of them all with highest death rate without a timely liver transplantation) on a daily basis. I am not even saying "almost on a daily basis" - it is daily. Every single day from Monday to Friday - both in-patients, as well as out-patients. Patients and families struggle to make ends meet for proper healthcare because alcohol use destroyed their life savings. And by the time they find the funds to get things going, the patient is already on the ventilator and in multiple organ failure. They use the money to bury the dead person - killed by alcohol (normalized by round-table discussions like these) and the rest of the money, go toward the fatherless childrens education. Nice going? To claim drinking alcohol in moderation is good, is actually a crime. It is a crime towards humanity, it is not in good-faith --> it is in good-faith to run the business yes, because the many people who use it occassionally, move on to frequently, and then get dependent or "routinize" it. These businessmen have nothing to lose - because they have already put up a stupid disclaimer to get away with it - "drink responsibly." So it becomes the drinkers fault. But then is it really? Drinking alcohol is a choice. But drinking more alcohol becomes "not" a choice anymore. The first drink takes your brain. It reduces brain volume, gives you a dopamine kick, makes you happy. And then onwards, you are alcohol's slave. The drinks increase. Or a routine sticks. The alcohol controls your life. You have to drink to stay happy. And then the serotonin (the actual happiness hormone, not the pleasuring one like dopamine) cease to work inside your brain and the mental health disorder that follows will swallow you whole. You die. Your family is brioken. There is no money left. If you are lucky and rich like these people sitting around this table doing this nonsense of a podcast, then you may be able to afford a lifesaving organ transplant or healthcare intervention. There is no safe level of alcohol that is good for human health and every person who claims drinking in moderation is good for you, is actually an idiot, intellectually depleted and without any regard for fellow humans and lack compassion. No amount of alcohol is safe because it is not just a liver poison, it is systemic poison. It gets to every part of your body. Even single to lowest exposure can wreck your DNA and promote cancer formation. There is scientific evidence to this. ✅️ ✅ Any amount of alcohol can increase your chances of getting at least 7 types of dreadful cancers. ➡️ & ➡️ It is not just disease causing, but alcohol use is also a societal poison. It drives people into becoming menace to society, takes lives, wrecks havoc in homes and is the real widow-maker. Have you forgotten these so quickly? 🔴The 17-year-old Pune boy, son of a renowned real-estate developer Vishal Agarwal, spent a whooping Rs 48,000 in just 90 minutes in one of the two pubs he visited on Saturday evening where he consumed alcohol with his friends before ramming his Porsche Taycan into a motorcycle, killing two young techies. and this one? India’s alcohol deaths are higher than China; per capita consumption is set to rise: WHO And please allow me refresh your memory about this patient of mine. Rich business people can sit around a table and discuss the business of alcohol and the "best alcohol" that they savor and falsely glorify and normalize alcohol use among youth, but end-of-the-line physicians like me have to bear the brunt of their intellectually deficient, a humanism lacking stupid conversations. "The 4th Laddu": Doctor Shares Emotional Post About A Patient Who Touched His Heart Also banning alcohol has NOT led to economies go into shambles. For example a recent study in the Lancet Regional Health showed that "strict alcohol regulation policies may yield significant population level health benefits for frequent drinkers and many victims of intimate partner violence." In fact, "economic savings and health benefits from reduced alcohol consumption may be substantial—particularly in the health sector with reduced alcohol-related disease and injury." So please chuck that idea that "banning/ limiting or reducing alcohol sales" actually desroys economies. In fact it improves it because you get a helathier population. See the Nordic Schema: “A comprehensive ban on alcohol marketing, enforced at the national and local level, is a best practice for reducing alcohol sales and consumption." - which means, podcasts like these, which glorify alcohol use and market it indirectly must also be burned to the ground and held accountable. There is no healthy or safe alcohol. There is no best alcohol. Alcohol is ethanol, which is a systemic and societal poison. Do not glorify it. And this why there is no "responsible drinking," because you cannot advice people to "drink poison responsibly." Podcast discussions like these are helping no one here. Please, do something that actually helps people out here. Do something good for the society, instead of goofing up like this. No one asked for this absolute bonkers of a podcast topic. Irresponsible. The whole team. For a realistic detailed discussion on alcohol and its effects on the body and why we must avoid it at all costs, please see my deep discussion with Ranveer Allahbadia here: And on that final note, I must confess that the title of podcast series (video below) was perfectly named: WTF.

Long rant, but worth it, please read & share. A bunch of businessmen, some quite famous, sit around a table discussing the "business of alcohol." So far so good. Alcohol is good business, a business that leech out others life. It rakes in money for governments through taxation & monopoly; and fattens the bank accounts of those behind the industry (like this round table group) and makes barons out of those who sell well. But when these businessmen, start glorifying their business of alcohol by equating it to "good healthcare intervention," it goes definitely into the realm of health misinformation, which is why, I have to keep discussing this absolutely garbage myth that "alcohol in moderation is good for you" and the absolute nonsense disclaimer to support that myth, which they call "drink responsibly." You know, first of all, it is easy for these rich men and women to glorify their alcohol business and discuss their high flying life, because "God" forbid, if they ever land with diseases related to alcohol - from strokes, to cancers to liver disease to mental health disorder - they can afford the best care out there. I treat alcohol use disorder and related acute liver disease, chronic liver failure and acute-on-chronic liver failure (the most devastating of them all with highest death rate without a timely liver transplantation) on a daily basis. I am not even saying "almost on a daily basis" - it is daily. Every single day from Monday to Friday - both in-patients, as well as out-patients. Patients and families struggle to make ends meet for proper healthcare because alcohol use destroyed their life savings. And by the time they find the funds to get things going, the patient is already on the ventilator and in multiple organ failure. They use the money to bury the dead person - killed by alcohol (normalized by round-table discussions like these) and the rest of the money, go toward the fatherless childrens education. Nice going?

What if simply sitting in a sauna could supercharge the benefits of exercise? Dr. Jari Laukkanen’s research shows that people who exercise and use the sauna have lower a all-cause mortality than those who only exercise Even more compelling? Studies reveal that adding sauna sessions to aerobic exercise boosts cardiorespiratory fitness beyond exercise alone The optimal dose: At least two sessions per week for benefits, with four or more linked to a staggering 40–50% drop in cardiovascular and all-cause mortality And the best part? You don’t need extreme heat—just 175°F for 20 minutes is enough to unlock powerful benefits

Would you curb your beer consumption if the Biden WH recommends you do so? Ted Cruz and Fox News have just had their "Tan Suit" moment with Joe Biden. They are now fear-mongering that Joe Biden is going to cut your beer off at just 2 beers per week. This is because George Koob, the director for the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, said that the US recommendations for alcohol consumption might move closer to Canada’s recommendations which are two or less drinks a week. No one is going to tell anyone they can't have more than this. It's just a recommendation. Calm down!

I just f**king love how the BBC One destroyed the "social drinking is pretty much ok" myth with this fantastic narrative which is only a bit over 60 seconds. We need more of this. Much more. Featuring marvellous Hepatologists from across the UK including Prof. Debbie Shawcross Remember. A woman can get severe liver disease with lower limits of alcohol use than men. It's not the liver disease I'm worried about, it's the terrifying breast cancer. And 20 other types of cancers including the most hellish of them all, pancreatic cancer (the pain cannot be described). Alcohol is not beneficial in any dose, or form. Prof. Debbie Shawcross mentioned liver failure in 20 year olds due to alcohol use. My youngest patient that fell victim to alcohol was only 19. He vomited nearly half his total blood volume...collapsed at home...hit his head on the floor...bled into his brain...went into a coma...died on the ventilator, all in 2 days time. Just 19 years old.

90% of people aren’t getting enough choline, and it’s quietly driving up their risk for heart disease and dementia Even slight deficiencies in choline can elevate homocysteine levels—a biomarker strongly linked to cardiovascular disease and cognitive decline Choline is also vital for brain function and development In fact, a randomized controlled trial found that pregnant women who increased their daily choline intake from roughly 500 milligrams (the recommended amount) to about 900 milligrams had children who scored dramatically higher on IQ and cognitive function tests Fortunately, eating around ~3 eggs per day or supplementing with phosphatidylcholine can correct this deficiency

Marijuana contributes to Brain Damage: “It’s a Weapon of Mass Destruction,” Says Dr. Daniel Amen Dr. Daniel Amen, a psychiatrist and brain-imaging specialist, warns that marijuana use causes visible damage on brain scans, which he describes as producing a “toxic-looking brain.” He specifically highlights the cerebellum — the area at the back-bottom of the brain that contains about 50% of the brain’s total neurons despite taking up only 10% of its volume. - Just as heavy alcohol use is notoriously toxic to the cerebellum, Dr. Amen states that marijuana is similarly damaging to this region. - The cerebellum was once thought to be mainly responsible for physical coordination and balance. - Modern research shows it also plays a critical role in thought coordination — how quickly and efficiently you process, integrate, and retrieve information. Because marijuana impairs cerebellar function, it literally slows down your thinking — making mental processing less sharp, less fluid, and slower overall. In Dr. Amen’s words, marijuana acts like a “weapon of mass destruction” to the brain. Clip Full Interview
