Drinking just a glass of wine or pint of beer each night in middle-age may age your brain by two years, a study claims.
Researchers analysed MRI scans of 36,000 adults to calculate their brain size, and then compared the alcohol intake of the volunteers.
Their results suggested a 50-year-old who drank one unit a day — the equivalent of half a lower-strength lager beer — would have a brain six months older than if they kept off the booze.
University of Pennsylvania researchers found the link grew even stronger the more people drank.
Middle-aged adults who consumed two units a day — one medium-sized glass of red or white wine — had a brain two-and-a-half years older, the data implied.

This is actually good news. I’ve always suspected I was brain dead. This confirms

Yep. 1-2 ounces of red wine or even some spirits. Lowers stress, helps with digestion, tannins, reduces stress on the heart/circulation, etc...
Nope. Back to “it’s killing everyone”... We’ve done prohibition before. Why can’t they just leave us alone?

Hey, I can still do the Wordle every day. And I don’t vote Democrat. So there’s that.
I think I’ll have a margarita.

Dunno... Our own Temperance Movement wasn’t Muslim.
But yeah... the new global push mostly likely is. Either that or the Chi-Coms. Commies hate anything fun that doesn’t cater to the Order of Society.

God made beer for a reason. ...as Benjamin Franklin said, as proof that He loves us and wants us to be happy.
...or as someone quipped, "Malt does more than Milton can
to justify God's ways to Man."

We’ll be two years wiser than everyone else. And less boring.

Nothing beats a medium rare steak and a glass of red wine.
Oh, and a salad with lots of blue cheese dressing.
Oh, wait...and a good French bread.
But then there’s the potato with butter and sour cream.
I’m hungry.
