“Even moderate drinking may speed brain decline”

 

An early seventeenth-century group of anti-Mormons?

I make it a practice of looking in, several times a week, at two largely atheist and very vitriolic apostate-Mormon message boards.  It’s my way, I suppose, of seeing what’s agitating the hive at any given time.  And I won’t deny that there’s an odd social-psychological fascination to it, as well.

 

On one of them, every single week, there’s inevitably a thread devoted to what the various denizens of that board are drinking, now that they’ve been liberated from the life-denying shackles of Mormonism.

 

In view of this article, the jokes about that pretty much write themselves:

 

Even moderate drinking may speed brain decline

 

However, lest I be accused of being mean-spirited, vicious, and addicted to ad hominems and character assassination, I won’t go there.
