(COMTEX) A: Drinking Can Hold Off Dementia A: Drinking Can Hold Off Dementia Mar 19, 2003 (WENN via COMTEX) -- New research suggests elderly people who drink moderately are less likely to suffer dementia than those who don't drink at all. The American study also found those who drink too much increase the risk.The researchers said consuming moderate amounts of alcohol prevents hardening of the arteries that leads to damaging strokes, lessens the risk of brain lesions and helps blood vessels to function. Better blood flow generally lessens the risks of vascular-related dementia, usually caused by strokes. The study of 373 dementia patients older than 65 and a like number of control subjects revealed that the lowest rates of dementia were among subjects who drank between one and six alcoholic drinks a week, who had half the risk of teetotalers. People who abstained from alcohol and those who consumed between seven and 13 drinks a week were at about equal risk of developing dementia, while those who drank more than 13 drinks a week had a significant 22 per cent higher risk. Men who drank heavily, as opposed to women, were particularly susceptible and were at double the risk of developing dementia.Study author Kenneth Mukamal of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Bostonm, however, warned, "Given the observational nature of our study, we cannot recommend that older adults begin drinking moderately on the basis of these findings alone. Older adults should discuss their alcohol use with their physicians and make appropriate decisions based on these discussions." (IG/WNWCYA/KTW) (c) 2003 WORLD ENTERTAINMENT NEWS NETWORK.

CARLING WINS DECISION ON 'BAWDY' COMMERCIAL A British advertising authority has rejected complaints that a commercial shown at movies in England is too bawdy and too demeaning to men to be shown. The commercial for Carling beer showed a woman upset after returning home to find her man sat drinking beer instead of cleaning the apartment. As she goes to clean up a beer can some beer spills over the table. The man kneels down and starts to lick it up. It gives the woman an idea, and the rest of the commercial shows the man cleaning other rooms in the house with his tongue -- wherever the woman spills beer. In the final scene of the commercial the woman pours beer on herself. The man can be seen crouching down with his tongue sticking out. realbeer.com
