I posted this a while ago, but I just recently saw this video:
Dean Ornish says your genes are not your fate | Video on TED.com
It's 3min long, so check it out.
He says that alcohol in moderation can cause brain growth (new neurons).
I've read/been told that no matter what, alcohol does kill brain cells, it's just that the effect is measurable when it's taken in excess... never thought I'd hear that small amounts are good for neuron growth.
I found that really interesting, but the video does not cite sources. I'd love to see if anyone can find research/info/links regarding the positive effects of alcohol on the brain when taken in small doses. I'll start looking
