For Memory’s Sake, Remember to Drink!
Apparently, drinking beer (or rather, consuming low amounts of alcohol) on a daily basis can be beneficial, if only in lab rats. According to a study from the University of Auckland, lab rats who tested better at “memory tasks” than their sober counterparts. Of course, over-consumption can lead to neurotoxicity (not to mention other social problems). Seems like this is more of a reason to have a glass or two of wine every day with dinner, like the Europeans.
