A recently published study shows that while drinking alcohol isn’t necessarily healthy, there are some benefits associated with low to moderate drinking.

That doesn’t mean, however, that there aren’t any risks associated with drinking, even if it isn’t heavy or regular.

It focused on the relationship between low to moderate levels of drinking and cognitive function and rates of decline.

Researchers found that low to moderate drinkers showed consistently high cognitive function trajectories and had slower rates of decline compared to never drinkers.

Researchers found that low to moderate drinkers showed consistently high cognitive function trajectories and had slower rates of decline compared to those who never drink.

Not surprisingly, heavy drinking was not found to be associated with higher cognitive scores.

This could reportedly cause heavy drinkers to report themselves as moderate drinkers, as they tend to underestimate their alcohol consumption.
