Read this if youre over 60

Alcohol helps you remember things when youre over 60, according to new research.

Researchers from the University of Texas Medical Branch at the University of Kentucky and University of Maryland say light to moderate alcohol consumption is associated with the ability to recall memories, science news website PsyPost.org reports. Their findings were detailed in the American Journal of Alzheimers Disease and Other Dementias.

Researchers studied data from 660 patients before determining that moderate alcohol consumption leads to larger hippocampal brain volume.

 Can't see the article on that page. Can you please post the URL of the actual article? It's not much use posting the link to home pages, if you wish to be helpful you should post the link to the thing you are referring to.

I don't drink so if this is right then my C.R.A.F.T. disease will only get worse. The upside is I supose I don't need to worry for another 5 years.  Bugga can't understand simple instructions either "Read this if youre over 60".  Sorry, I read it.no

now I know why I recognize the BOSS when I wake up in the morning.............time to give up alcohol. Mind you, then I will have no vices as I don't have a house, I don't even have a vice screwed to the workshop bench
