Studies show that more than two beers a day speeds up memory loss in middle age men.
Scientists at University College London have studied over 5,000 British men for 20 years as they discovered middle age men who heavily drink increase risk of damaging their memory.
Moderate drinking or less than two beers had no effect on memory reasoning or problem solving.
It was when they had two beers or more every day for 20 years scientists found a deterioration in their ability to recall information. It was similar as adding six years of aging. Also found was a decline in the brains attention span and reasoning skills.
This study involved tracking the drinking habits of 5,054 people for a ten year period from the late 1990s, then checking their mental ability over the next ten years until 2009.
Severine Sabia an Author of the University College London said.”Our study focused on middle-aged participants and suggests that heavy drinking is associated with faster decline in all areas of cognitive function in men.” |

According to the study Men in their 40s who drink more than two beers or over two pints of beer a day at risk of memory decline. Also one beer a day might not put us at risk to increase memory loss.
Dr Simon Ridley, from the charity Alzheimer’s Research UK, said, “These latest results could serve as one more reason to stick to any New Year’s resolutions to cut back on alcohol.”
If you’re a middle aged man and concerned about your health this scientific study might help you for the future. As much as everyone loves having a few drinks I believe health should be more important. |

Beer consumption contributes to memory loss? Since most of us drink to forget our problems, this is exceedingly good news.
Science rocks! |

What else did they eat though? I'd bet the beer drinkers also ate more junk food, specifically sugar and wheat; burgers, cokes, pizza, pasta, and beer! |

| But beer is made from grain, remember? It doesn't fit into their Paleo diet macros. Cave people didn't consume alcohol...or did they?_? |

Beer was invented in the Middle East maybe 8-9000 years ago, after the advent of settlement based on grain agriculture.
Cavemen didn't have the resources to make alcoholic beverages in any quantity, but where there is a will, there is a way....

Other studies have shown that 2 beers a day have resulted in a rise in the population of the countries of the world.
As the beer drinker experiences memory loss, they forget to use protection when they had sex,. |
