It is an interesting state of affairs when the research on drinking alcohol is so ambiguous that the recommendations are "U-shaped," meaning that they THINK a couple of drinks a day enhances cognition better than no drinks at all and drinking too many.
So pour yourself a strong one (or two) and think about THAT.
"The majority of studies observed a U-shaped relationship between regular alcohol consumption and cognitive function: frequent heavy consumption of alcohol alters brain functions and decreases cognitive performance; regular light and moderate consumption may have a protective impact. In many studies, total abstainers show an inferior cognitive performance than people with moderate or light consumption."
