Cognitive Scores Improved with Moderate Alcohol Consumption
>
South Africa's IOL reports that a study has found that women who consume a 'moderate' amount of alcohol performed better on cognitive tests than woman in a control group. This study contradicts some other recent studies and accepted belief that any alcohol may cause a degree of impairment. It may be that the subjects could avoid outside distraction more effectively because of the moderate intake, but certainly this deserves additional study.
