Well, it’s not that cut-and-dry, but still interesting nonetheless.
A study of 7,000 older women found that those who consume a moderate amount of alcohol have higher levels of mental function than non-drinkers.
Researchers at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center found that compared to non-drinkers, women who reported drinking up to two or three drinks per day performed better on measures of global cognitive function, which includes concentration, language, memory and abstract reasoning.
Crazy, right? Additionally, when did a few drinks every day become moderate? Lead author of the study, Mark Espeland also makes it a point to say at the end of the report:
"Until we better understand the reasons why alcohol consumption is associated with better cognitive functioning, these results on their own are not a reason for people who don't drink to start or for those who drink to increase their intake.”
Damn!!!
Let me give you another example how women who drink are smarter. They get drunk, wake up in someone's bed! I call that, above the average intellegence for a woman! [kidding kiddin]
ReplyDeleteI think, the minor benifits gained by drinking are outweighed by the amount of issues. Liver issues, and other social problems. Some people CAN control thier consumption, but many can't
I'm not saying I'm against drinking all together. I'm just agains ME drinking, everyone else can make thier own decisions
