You do not need a prescription for wine
According to reports carried by some of the big British papers as well as the international news agencies, drinking a glass of wine a day or a pint of beer can cut the chance of developing dementia.
Scientists in Germany, we’re told, spent three years studying 3,200 people over the age of 75, who had no signs of dementia when they signed up for the study. Of those, 217 went on to develop dementia. The researchers found that those who drank between two and three units a day (roughly equivalent to a glass of wine or pint of beer) were 29% less likely to have started developing dementia by the end of the three-year period than those who were teetotal.
