Warning to middle-aged drinkers that just one glass of wine or pint a night can age your brain by TWO YEARS, study claims
UK Daily Mail ^ | 3/4/2022 | Joe Davies

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.

UK Daily Mail is Britain’s answer to Mad Magazine, but without the clever artwork.

Don’t care how old my brain is as long as the rest of me looks sharp.

Yeah, about that...

This isn’t fair. I should be able to remember the Pyramids being built.

This interesting video is about a survey if a group of people taken over several years — maybe a decade or two. Says two glasses of wine a day is a good thing.

Ha, I just read a list of top ten things you could do to lower your lethal cholesterol and drinking a glass of wine everyday was on that list! Could they make up their mind?

Next thing you know, they’ll be telling us smoking is good for us.

Smoking has good effects and harmful effects. If it only had harmful effects, it wouldn’t be so popular.

If someone finds a way to compensate the bad effects, smoking would be beneficial.

I suspect ‘studies’ like these are intended to set the stage for huge taxes on alcohol. And why not, the government now totally controls the media - they might as well use them.

WHO is pushing anti propaganda world wide.

Gates pretty much owns WHO these days.

Maybe someone should just ask him what his problem is.

My Dr. dubbed me alcoholic. We got into a heated argument und till I told him I was NOT, I am a drunk. Alcoholics go to meetings.

It’s a sad fact of life that alcohol is a poison. But you die anyway so make the decisions for yourself.
