A new study that’s being published in The Journal of Nueroscience indicates that low to moderate consumption of alcohol may actually improve your memory. so far the study has only observed the reaction in rats but I’m sure there will be no loss for people to participate in human testing.
“There are human epidemiological data of others indicating that mild [to] moderate drinking may paradoxically improve cognition in people compared to abstention,” says Maggie Kalev, a research fellow in molecular medicine and pathology at the University of Auckland in New Zealand and a co-author of an article in The Journal of Neuroscience describing results of a study she and other researchers performed on rats. “This is similar to a glass of wine protecting against heart disease, however the mechanism is different.”
Ok, so we already knew that a glass of wine could help stave off heart disease, so now if you have a beer everyday you’ll get smarter and if you want to go for the trifecta of health and live longer, well, stay out of the gym.

It’s so interesting that I hear the strange news firstly, and I believe it deeply,so I will buy some beers for drinking today !I want to get smarter!
Oh, a nice picture.
best… news… ever… now i can justify going out for a beer with the boys to my wife
lol. Be sure to let me know how that goes.
All right! I am going to get smart this weekend! I like the pic as well!
WOW!!! She looks like Julia Stiles with a RACK!!!!!
So does that mean i have to drink a pint of beer and a glass of wine every day? I’m starting to enjoy my new “healthy” lifestyle
Hehe, now men can find a good reason why to go out and live “healty”
Hmmmm….I wonder if this same philosophy applies to Captain Morgan and Coke? If so then I must have a phenomenally high I.Q.
If the news is actual, and I prefer to believe it, the beer’s consumption will be enhanced a lot. How original the news is! I have never heart of the connection of health and beer, what’s more, the news tell us that drinking beer everyday can make one smarter and live longer , which is a very new concept, because we knew that drinking wine or beer can induce one’s heart and blood disease, now the very adverse concept occurs, hehe, I like it , because i believe that drinking a cup of beer everyday without excess indeed brings a fitness.
Meanwhile, the picture is so attractive and I like it so much!
Ya había escuchado que tomar una copita de vino prevenía algunas enfermedades,con la cerveza puede ser posible, pero no habrá algún peligro que la personase vuelva adicta?
This is a new perspective, whether it is not true for people who drink beer, with good reason!:)
