∙ 12y agoAccording to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism in their 2004 report it isn't the number of drinks, but how long you have been drinking, how often you drink, the amount you drink, the age which you started drinking, genetics, prenatal exposure to alcohol, and family history that makes the difference. The research has shown that alcohol can produce detectable impairments in memory after only a few drinks and as the amount of alcohol increases so does the impairment. To answer your question it isn't the number of cells per drink but how long and how much you drink that will determine how your brain is affected.

Brain damage occurs over prolonged periods of exposure to the effects of alcohol. One drink will not kill any brain cells, unless it is an iced tea glass full of vodka, in which case it could kill all your cells.

Actually, no brain cells are killed. Studies show that communication between brain cells is just damaged by the abuse of alcohol but largely irreversible. Scientific medical research has actually demonstrated that the moderate consumption of alcohol is associated with better cognitive (thinking and reasoning) skills and memory than is abstaining from alcohol. Moderate drinking doesn't kill brain cells but helps the brain function better into old age. Studies around the world involving many thousands of people report this finding.
