How Many Drinks Raise Dementia Risk?

Turns out, having just 8 drinks a week (think: a glass of wine a night and a couple on the weekend) can up your risk for brain injuries linked to dementia, according to a new study. Even 'moderate' drinkers saw increased risk! Researchers found heavy drinkers had a 133% higher risk of artery hardening in the brain, which messes with memory. The wild part? Even ex-heavy drinkers weren’t off the hook. TL;DR: Cutting back on booze is a win for your brain, no matter your age. #BrainHealth #DementiaRisk #AlcoholAwareness #HealthNews #Wellness #Health
