People who consume alcohol three or more times daily face a higher risk of stroke at a younger age than those who don’t, according to a Nov. 5 peer-reviewed study published in the journal “Neurology.”
The study looked at how heavy alcohol usage is associated with acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH)—stroke caused by bleeding in the brain—and cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD), which refers to damage suffered by small blood vessels in the brain.
