Drinking accelerates onset of Alzheimer's

People who have more than two alcoholic drinks a day develop Alzheimer’s disease five years earlier than those who do not drink, a comprehensive study linking the condition to lifestyle has found. Those who smoke are affected by the illness two years earlier than non-smokers, while those who smoke and drink are likely to hasten the onset of the disease by seven years. People who suffer from high cholesterol in middle age are one and a half times more likely to go on to develop Alzheimer’s. T
