Drinking in moderation makes you smarter

Oh my goodness, how did I miss this one?!

A study published last year by Australian National University researchers found that moderate drinkers scored higher on measurements of memory, verbal skills, and “speed of thinking” than those deemed heavy drinkers or those who never or rarely drank alcohol.

Further, the results were consistent for people in their twenties, forties, and sixties.

“Moderate” drinking was defined for the study as 2-4 drinks per day for men, 1-2 per day for women. It looks like I’m behind on my quota this week.
