Brain damage increase dementia risk.
Any drug abuse. Alcohol is a drug. Injuries.
Your brain is a physical organ. Treat it with care.

Joe goes to the doctor
Doctor: Joe, I have bad news for you.
Joe: C’mon man. Give it to me straight doc.
Doctor: You got covid and you have Alzheimers.
Joe: Well at least I don’t have covid.

What about having a doctor root around in your brain with a grapefruit spoon?

I worked with some people from a different part of the country whose sole aim was to get so drunk they would pass out. Then they would brag about it the next day. “Boy, did I get drunk last night!!! Oh, did I get really drunk!!!” Scientists who study the brain say that kind of drinking turns off all parts of the brain except the very last part that keeps you alive. The next step is death.

This makes sense to me. There are no doubt other factors but drinking to excess probably is one for dementia.

No wonder nobody on FR reads the article - but thinks they did. (Unfortunately, they don’t fergit to post a reply - a damn selective ailment).

That's not hard to imagine.Alcohol was long ago established as being capable of causing serious damage to major organs...why not the brain?

I knew a young man in his 30’s that literally fried his brain on alcohol. It made a vegetable out of him and put him in a nursing home for life.
