And the Good News just keeps on coming ...
Drinking Wine Helps Your Brain in an Unexpected Way, According to Yale NeuroscienceWine puts cognitive processing on overload -- which is a good thing.
I have been drinking a lot of red wine lately ....
It all started in 2017, when Yale neuroscientist Gordon Shepherd told NPR that tasting wine engages more of the brain than any other human behavior. Solving a tough math problem, listening to music, and trying to hit a curveball each stimulate the brain less than drinking a glass of wine.
Tasting wine triggers a complex series of interplays as air meets liquid. The tongue, jaw, throat and diaphragm, as well as taste and odor receptors all get involved to send signals to the brain that trigger serious cognitive work. Your brain gets involved in pattern recognition ("Have I tasted something like this before?"), memory, value judgment, emotion, and pleasure.
I’ll drink to that.
Red Red Wine you make me feel so Fine !

It’s been very cold and rainy here so there is nothing like a beautiful glass of Whiskey to warm you up.
Research shows small amounts of whiskey — especially aged varieties — increases our activity in the brain's GABA neurotransmitter, responsible for things like nervous system function and memory. One study found that people who consumed one to six drinks weekly had a lower risk of dementia than non-drinkers.Oct. 22, 2020
