Im watching some tweets about the Neuro Conference 2016, and this one stood out: wendy burn on Twitter: "@ProfDavidNutt If alcohol was treated as new food additive max exposure allowed per year would be 1mls #NeuroConf"

If my math is correct, that would be equivalent to the alcohol in 10 small glasses of wine (10 times 1 unit of 10ml alcohol) per year.

It does highlight how much alcohol can be considered a neurotoxin. There are other surprising findings, like people who have cirrhosis related to alcohol intake, even though they are not dependent on it. (a.k.a. social drinkers)

No links to the papers yet, just thought it was pretty relevant to our topic here.
