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 โ the equivalent of half a lower-strength lager beer โ 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 โ one medium-sized glass of red or white wine โ had a brain two-and-a-half years older, the data implied.

yes, the doctors died of their own indulgences.
I will never forget, in the 1980s, my doc who smelled heavily of cigarettes.

Temperance and abstinence are of course not synonyms; and a lot of un-Biblical ideas were behind prohibition.
This is out of UPenn, who has a sizable Muslim Student Association.

Drinking just a glass of wine or pint of beer each night in middle-age may age your brain by two years I start off the day drinking and continue during the day so I don't have that night drinking problem.
