Drink Up, LadiesPosted on Aug 18, 2010
There are three kinds of studies we hear about. (1) Something incredibly obvious turns out to be true. (2) Something you like is good for you. (3) Something you like is bad for you. Obviously we prefer No. 2s, like this study out of Norway that says drinking wine—especially if you’re a woman—might make you smarter.

Report thisDon’t think this is just for women because watching anybody
start in on the drink, both amaze me at how suddenly their
IQ’s have increased, much to their delight. So much more
intelligent that they can’t get enough words out fast enough
to… well, what I can only guess is to solve all the problems of
the world. That has to be very tiring as before too long, they
just stop talking and stare, then go sit down somewhere to
‘recollect’ those humdinger of thoughts.

Is it a person’s lifestyle that affects their cognitive ability, or their cognitive ability that affects their lifestyle. Women I know who do not drink are, generally, evangelical religious. In my experience, women who become evangelicals have lower cognitive ability to begin with. Therefore, the lack of drinking is not directly related to their lower cognitive ability, but is, indirectly, a result of it.
