abstract = {AimsAlcohol consumption influences the water balance in the
brain. While the impact of chronic alcohol misuse on
cerebral water content has been the subject of several
studies, less is known about the effects of acute alcohol
misuse, with contradictory results in the literature.
Therefore, we investigated the effects of acute alcohol
intoxication on cerebral water content using a precise
quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
sequence.MethodsIn a prospective study, we measured cerebral
water content in 20 healthy volunteers before alcohol
consumption and after reaching a breath alcohol
concentration of 1 ‰. A quantitative MRI water mapping
sequence was conducted on a clinical 3 T system.
Non-alcoholic fluid input and output were documented and
accounted for. Water content was assessed for whole brain,
grey and white matter and more specifically for regions
known to be affected by acute or chronic alcohol misuse
(occipital and frontal lobes, thalamus and pons). Changes in
the volume of grey and white matter as well as the whole
brain were examined.ResultsQuantitative cerebral water
content before and after acute alcohol consumption did not
differ significantly (P ≥ 0.07), with changes often being
within the range of measurement accuracy. Whole brain, white
and grey matter volume did not change significantly (P ≥
0.12).ConclusionThe results of our study show no significant
water content or volume change in the brain after recent
alcohol intake in healthy volunteers. This accounts for the
whole brain, grey and white matter, occipital and frontal
lobes, thalamus and pons.},
