Is this science or junk science. I have been hearing for years that alcohol was no good for those brain cells. Excessive drinking over many years causes what is known in lay terms as "wet brain" where one becomes basically a drooling idiot. More info has to come out of the lab (hopefully from other places beside Sweden) before I will go back to sucking on my jug of MD 20/20.

Well, it must depend on other causes. There are cases of bona fide geniuses who had very heavy alcohol consumption, but not every tippler grows even a talent, let alone genius.

The article was talking about moderate drinking, not excessive drinking.
