Can you handle some good news? Drinking alcohol can be good for your brain! See below. What else is good for you we didn't know?

We KNOW drinking red wine is good for the heart. Dark chocolate and walnuts too. Old news. Here's what we didn't know.

According to a recent study by the University of California at San Diego

Moderate to heavy alcohol drinkers are more likely to reach age 85 without dementia or similar cognitive issues.

Moderate is defined as one drink per day for all women or men over 65

Heavy is defined as 3 drinks a day for all adult women and men over 65 and 4 drinks a day for men
under 65

Excessive drinking is defined as more than the above-stated amounts
