I wish more studies accounted for how drinking is done.
Indeed. From what my own innards tell me, drinking almost any amount just before sleeping feels particularly disruptive to the various housekeeping activities said innards are entrusted with. The same amount in the afternoon (or well before nocturnal drowsiness sets in), rather less so.
It would also be nice to know to what extent the various damages detailed in the article compare with those of, say, loss of sleep or poor nutrition - or even (seriously now) social isolation, stress, or watching too much TV. And to what extent the body and brain may be able to repair these damages, over time.
