Drink Green Beer, Not Green Wine

March 17th, 2008 · 1 Comment

On St. Patrick’s day, pour yourself a green beer, not a green wine: wine and spirits cause more hippocampal volume loss than does beer (in chronic alcoholics, anyway).

There are probably other good reasons for not drinking green wine, although some clever marketing group will probably market a sauvignon vert . . . .
