So I had this thought cross my mind today that perhaps the alcohol is, in fact, "resetting" the brain by helping reduce inflammation and wash out the "sludge" that has accumulated in the brain.
"Enjoying that glass or pint with some regularity might reduce your risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis (RA), according to a few studies. Moderate alcohol consumptionreduces biomarkers of inflammation, including c-reactive protein, interleukin-6, and TNF-alpha receptor 2, says Karen Costenbader, MD, MPH, a rheumatologist at Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston. Inflammation is what makes your joints swell and ache when you have RA. Alcohols anti-inflammatory effects are also thought to be one of the reasons it appears to lower cardiovascular disease risk in moderate drinkers."
