Alcohol is considered a vice by many but it turns out that moderate drinking can actually have a number of benefits. This doesn’t mean you should overindulge or drink heavily.
Light to moderate drinking can help you improve your memory, boost creativity and even help you live longer. A study even suggests that a pint of beer helps your ability to learn a new language. Another study suggests that a glass of wine can calm you down and help you think more clearly.
Boosts your memory
A little bit of alcohol can help you jog your memory. Researchers found in a study conducted on students that the students who drank alcohol after studying were better at remembering what they learned, compared to the students who did not drink. Alcohol blocks the learning of new information which is why the brain has more resources available to grasp other recently learned information into the long-term memory.
