I read an article from Reuters health recently that indicated a few drinks a week may help woman with brain decline. A Women's Health Study found brain benefits from moderate drinking. The key word being moderate. Excessive drinking is always bad for your health.
In the study they found no differences in men's health and moderate drinking but found that it may be estrogen levels that protect woman's brains more than mens. You can read the full article here http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/news/fullstory_72673.html.
Do you think moderate drinking is beneficial?

Stick to red wine, 6-8 oz with dinner 4-5 times per week and you will also rejuvenate. The healthy qualities of resveratrol, a chemical found in grape skins have shown on many studies to give the body the ability to ward off a host of ills, from old age to heart disease, cancer, obesity and Alzheimer's disease. Drinking wine can also help fight diabetes. Cheers!
