For French schoolchildren, learning to drink wine has almost been part of their upbringing. Before 1956, parents gave a bottle of wine mixed with water to school, where children were allowed to drink up to half a liter of wine a day. In 1956, however, a minimum age was set so that children had to be 14 before they could drink wine at school. It was not until 1981 that a total ban on alcohol was introduced in French primary schools.

Your brain is constantly eating itself.

Called phagocytosis, this process allows cells to envelop and consume smaller cells or molecules to remove them from the system. It might sound a little scary, but it’s a good thing since it helps our brains preserve gray matter!
