Study finds heavy drinking link to memory loss
Those consuming more than 36g of alcohol per day — equivalent to a pint and a half of medium-strength beer — experience noticeable declines in memory and problem-solving skills up to six years earlier than light or moderate drinkers, scientists have found.
No differences in memory and executive function, which includes reasoning, planning and problem-solving, were seen between non-drinkers, former drinkers, and light or moderate drinkers.
