Ever feel like you’ll go crazy if you don’t have your evening cocktail? Turns out you may be right.

A Drink A Day May Delay Dementia

In people with mild cognitive impairment, up to one drink of alcohol a day may slow their progression to dementia, according to a study published in the May 22, 2007, issue of Neurology®, the scientific journal of the American Academy of Neurology. Mild cognitive impairment is a transitional stage between normal aging and dementia that is used to classify people with mild memory or cognitive problems and no significant disability.

Yet another piece of evidence that all is good in moderation.
