Even a small amount of wine threatens senile dementia

Consumption of just 4 small glasses of wine per week can increase the risk of senile dementia. British researchers from King's College London came to this conclusion.

Consumption of just 4 large glasses of beer or small glasses of wine every week increases the risk of developing senile dementia, as the study showed. Its authors warn that regular alcohol consumption increases the probability of an incurable disease by half. In particular, the probability of losing short-term memory and spatial orientation, that is, the ability not to wander in space, increases.

Scientists claim that if a person does not want or cannot reduce the level of alcohol to a safe level, then he may have these problems indicating the initial stage of dementia. It should be noted that 4 mugs of beer per week are 8 doses of alcohol, and in the same Great Britain, 14 doses of alcohol per week are considered to be the maximum permissible. The researchers analyzed information from more than 15,000 people over the age of 50 who were followed for two years.

Drinking was assessed, including its volume and frequency, as well as the level of memory using special tests on thinking. In recent years, scientists have become completely confused about whether or not people can drink alcohol in small amounts. Some studies allow one glass of wine a day, and some say that even a small amount of alcohol can cause serious health problems if you drink regularly.
