— AND IT’S NOT A WIN…Maybe it’s time we normalize chilling instead of spiraling?

🚨HEAVY DRINKING TURNS YOUR MIND TO MUSH… DUH

A bunch of researchers dug into 1,781 human brains and found what anyone who’s texted an ex at 2AM already knows: alcohol and brain health don’t mix.

If you’re downing 8 or more drinks a week, you’re 133% more likely to end up with vascular brain lesions—which is fancy talk for “your brain’s plumbing gets clogged and your thoughts start short-circuiting.”

Used to drink a lot but quit?

Congrats on the willpower, but your brain still got dinged—89% higher odds of damage.

Even “moderate” drinkers had a 60% boost in brain boo-boos.

Researchers also found more neurofibrillary tangles—basically, protein tumbleweeds that clog your neurons and are a calling card of Alzheimer’s.

Not exactly the souvenir you want from your wine phase.

Former heavy drinkers also scored worse on thinking tests.

Turns out, memory doesn’t bounce back like your weekend bar tab.

So if you’re drinking to “take the edge off,” you might just be sanding down the sharp parts of your brain.

GOT ALZHEIMER’S? IT COULD COME FROM YOUR DAD

Scientists just dropped a plot twist: if your dad had Alzheimer’s, your brain might be in more trouble than if your mom did.

Even weirder? Women’s brains take in more of the bad stuff that causes Alzheimer’s… but somehow don’t fall apart as fast. Superpower? Maybe.

Men, on the other hand, get hit harder with less. Like showing up late to class and still failing harder.

So yeah—your brain’s future might depend on which parent passed down the chaos.

GEN Z GIRLS ARE OUT-DRINKING, OUT-POP-PIILLING EVERYONE — AND IT’S NOT A WIN

A new study says Gen Z women are now leading the charts in binge drinking and stimulant abuse — because apparently life isn’t chaotic enough already.

Researchers are blaming it on stress, social media, and trying to be perfect 24/7 while the world burns.

Spoiler: downing vodka and Adderall like it’s a personality trait isn’t exactly the winning move.

Maybe it’s time we normalize chilling instead of spiraling?
