More important than the suggestion light drinking might help cognitive function, heavy drinking decimates it. My father, a life-long alcoholic, died of a combination of Alzheimer’s and “wet brain”.

Wow. Thanks for sharing, Jim. I took care of an aunt with Alzheimer’s the last six years of her life. Not a pretty picture as her mental control evaporated. Can only imagine liquor thrown in too.
