I don’t know about you, but I love hearing reasons why I should order that frozen margarita with my enchiladas.  A recent study highlights the positive effects on older women who drink 1 to 3 alcoholic drinks per day.  Now for the bad news.  The study only applied to women between 65 and 80 years of age.  Oh well, there’s no reason we can’t get started early! 

Here’s what the Science Daily says about the findings:

“The study, available on-line in the journal Neuroepidemiology, found that compared to non-drinkers, women who reported drinking up to two or three drinks per day performed better on measure of global cognitive function, which includes concentration, language, memory and abstract reasoning.”

This follows another encouraging development for all women when, at the end of May, CNN reported on a study that showed milk chocolate increases cognitive activity.

Sounds like I need to head over to Chuy’s for dinner and frozen margaritas and then to Mozart’s for chocolate cake!
