Two pints of beer, associated with earlier memory loss in their middle age

According to a new study, men in their middle ages who drink 4.5 units of beer a day are predisposed to the risks of speeding up memory loss. There were 5,000 British men analyzed in this study and researchers discovered that their premature memory damage is thanks to heavy drinking. 2.5 units of beer or 1 glass of wine aren`t considered to present any significant effects on the memory.

The study also proves that heavy drinking not only leads to speeding up memory loss but it also associated with additional 6 years of aging. The research was released by scientists at University College London and the author of the study is Dr. Séverine Sabia. “Much of the research evidence about drinking and a relationship to memory and executive function is based on older populations”, stated Dr. Sabia. The study established how often, how much and what men in their middle ages drank. In the second stage, the researchers examined the cognitive function of every man. Heavy drinkers performed worse, compared to others who drank normal amounts of beer or vine.
