Official: drinking improves thinking

It is guaranteed to raise a cheer among those who enjoy a tipple:
moderate drinkers are better thinkers than teetotallers or those who
overindulge.

Research by the Australian National University in Canberra suggests
drinking in moderation boost your brainpower. But none at all, or too
much, can make you a dullard.

A study of 7,000 people in their early 20s, 40s and 60s found that
those who drank within safe limits had better verbal skills, memory
and speed of thinking than those at the extremes of the drinking
spectrum. The safe consumption level was considered to be 14 to 28
standard drinks a week for a man and seven to 14 for a woman.

Questions ranged from verbal reasoning problems to tests of short-term
memory. Surprisingly, perhaps, teetotallers were twice as likely as
occasional drinkers to achieve the lowest scores.

Bryan Rodgers, from ANU's Centre for Mental Health Research, said
moderate drinkers not only performed the best, but also seemed to be
the healthiest. "This does not necessarily show moderate alcohol use
is good for our brains - there may be other reasons we haven't
measured to explain the poor performance of non-drinkers," Dr Rodgers
said.

The results may reflect the fact that alcohol can reduce the risk of
cardiovascular disease and increase blood flow to the brain - factors
linked to improved mental function. They also support research that
suggests moderate alcohol intake can reduce the risk of heart attacks
and strokes by improving circulation.

The Australian study is part of a 20-year project started in 1999 to
examine the changes in thinking and mood as people age.
