There is a new study out that finds the brain may be protected by alcohol during accidents which is a little ironic since many accidents are caused by alcohol.

In the study of 38,000 patients with moderate to severe traumatic brain injuries who were admitted to U.S. hospitals between 2000 and 2005, 38 percent had alcohol in their blood. Such patients had a lower risk of dying of their injuries than those who hadn't been drinking.
