Drinking just 4 small glasses of wine on a weekly basis may increase the risk of dementia. This conclusion was made by British researchers from King’s College London.
Drinking just 4 large beers or small glasses of wine weekly increases the risk of developing dementia, a study has shown. Its authors warn that regular alcohol consumption increases the likelihood of an incurable disease by half. In particular, the probability of loss of short 
memory and spatial orientation, that is, the ability not to wander in space, increases.
Scientists say that if a person is unwilling or unable to reduce their alcohol level to a safe level, then they may experience these problems, indicating the initial stage of dementia. Note that 4 mugs of beer per week is 8 doses of alcohol, and in the same UK, 14 doses of alcohol per week are considered the maximum allowable. The researchers analyzed information from more than 15,000 people over the age of 50 who were followed for two years.
The consumption of alcoholic beverages was assessed, including their volume and frequency, as well as the level of memory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory work using special tests for thinking. In recent years, scientists have become completely confused about whether people can drink alcohol in small quantities, or not. Some studies allow one glass of wine a day, and some say that even a tiny amount of alcohol can already provoke serious health problems if you drink regularly.
