New study details benefits of moderate drinking.
[A daily cocktail or glass of wine may help delay dementia. Research has found that alcohol is an anti-inflammatory (inflammation promotes Alzheimer's) and raises good HDL cholesterol, which helps ward off dementia.
Recent work at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Centre in North Carolina found that older people who had eight to 14 alcoholic drinks a week had a 37 per cent lower risk of dementia than non-drinkers.
However, adults who go on occasional binges face a higher risk. A Finnish study showed that adults who binged in midlife at least once a month - drinking, for example, more than five bottles of beer or a bottle of wine at one sitting - were three times more likely to develop dementia, including Alzheimer's, 25 years later]
