Abstract
Many studies have considered the costs and benefits of alcohol consumption in diverse populations. Moderate alcohol consumption has frequently been reported to have a beneficial effect on cardiovascular disease (CVD).1-3 Because the brain is perfused by the cardiovascular system, moderate alcohol consumption may attenuate age-related decline in brain volume.Keywords
