Some good news at last!

"There is strong evidence from previous longitudinal studies that [drinking] a small amount of alcohol is associated with lower incidence of overall dementia and Alzheimer dementia," Professor Siegfried Weyerer, PhD, from the Central Institute of Mental Health in Mannheim, Germany, said.
"Unique in our study," he told Medscape Medical News, "is that this result was also found among a large population [75 years and older at baseline] where the mean age was, at 80.2 years, much higher than that in previous studies." The study was published online March 2 in Age and Ageing.




Well Alcohol can provoke some short term dementia (drunkenness) but not long term dementia. Like in the book Anti-fragile if you stress the system a bit it get's stronger not weaker. When you get a bit drunk often it strengthens the system.

Could this be true?
