ALCOHOL CUTS RISK OF BRAIN INJURY

"The University of Toronto team found head injury patients who had drunk low amounts were 24% less likely to die than those who had not had any alcohol.

They said alcohol might one day be used as part of emergency treatment for some head injury patients. "

so before you take a fall , remember to take a drink first !
it seems to be in line with the suggestion that "a small amount of alcohol" is usually good for us .
just don't drink so much that you fall off the ladder - that's not the way to interpret this !

Of course they neglected to say that many of the head injuries were the end result of drinking...
