Drink For Your Brain's Cognitive Function
 

A new study in The Journal of the American Medical Association finds that light drinking may actually be good for you, and may help in preserving brain function in old age.

The study, which was conduced on 19,887 participants Among US Adults from the Health and Retirement Study, with an average follow-up of 9.1 years. When the results were compared between never drinking, low to moderate drinking was associated with significantly better trajectories of higher cognition scores for mental status, word recall, and vo:pimp:pimpcabulary and with lower rates of decline in each of these cognition domains.

The results of the study found that current low to moderate alcohol consumption among middle-aged or older adults may be associated with better total cognitive function.

Compared to non-drinkers, they found that those who had a drink or two a day tended to perform better on cognitive tests over time. (This does not mean that people who drink lesser should start drinking more.)

When you drink daily you necessarily exercise the cognitive function to remember what the hell you did/said/commented the day before.

Sweet so sticking to 1 bottle a day and I should be good. Not more heavy drinking!

I always found booze a way to escape cognitive function =)

don't drink at all aside from an odd beer here and there (ton of cals -147- so a treat, not a regular thing whatsoever) but I only learned in the last couple years (actually from someone here) that hard drinking actually causes brain damage. I hadn't known that

esp for women alcohol affects us differently than men. hits us harder physically in every way. but crazy how many functional alcoholics are blonde white women who have classy glasses of wine staring at noon, cuz it's all socially acceptable. while peeps are still in prison for dealing weed

good to know in moderation it's ok, just personally prefer to stay away and would never have even a beer in front of a child. I don't think it's behavior that is safe or something to normalize

a beat and a mic and some endorphins are the best drugs anyway

Burp? :drinkup

Nothing new, it is known for ages how one glass of red wine daily do wonders.
