Study Reveals Memory Loss in Heavy Drinking Middle-aged Men

A study at Johns Hopkins found that heavy drinking by middle-aged men can speed up memory loss.  Heavy drinking was defined as two and a half drinks a day.  Moderate drinking appeared to have no adverse effect.

Conversely, women who had abstained from drinking for 10 years had more cognitive loss than women who drank moderately.  Watch the clip of an interview with Dr. Marty Makary, Professor of Public Health at Johns Hopkins
