"One of the longest and largest studies looking at alcohol consumption in older people found that moderate drinking was associated with a significant reduction in the risk of developing dementia.
"The research, which is the latest development in the perplexing issue of alcohol and health, is being presented Monday at an Alzheimer's Association conference in Vienna, Austria.
"The study confirms earlier research, mainly in middle-aged people, showing that moderate drinking can reduce the risk of dementia, said Piero Antuono, a professor of neurology at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Wauwatosa."

Wait a minute - what is this blog about, again?
Moderate. Hmmmm. How many people stop at moderate? While one glass of wine can help you to relax and might be good for you, overindulgence, on the other hand can potentially bring an increase of many different types severe illness.
Tell that to the party girls, Beejay and ABBY.
And tell it to Jose!
Well, I drink 2 1/2 glasses of wine a day for my heart (thats my story and I'm sticking to it). And now it will help prevent Alzheimers. Wow, its a good day.
Now if we can just get rid of the 105 temps down here, life will be really good.
Jose is evil. I ran into the guy yesterday. He has no shame. What a sweet talker.
Now I understand what Thirsty Thursdays are for, it's a health day :)
Jose is one bad Hombre!
Mary: I hope that's RED wine? I had a glass yesterday instead of a pill. It didn't work, so I took the pill too. I drink it for my heart too. I just can't get my nerves to believe my heart is OK.
Moderate. Usually means 1 or 2 drinks (wine, beer or boooze)a day max. In WI it means all 14 drinks on a Friday night then a drive home.
