Dementia expert and former president of the American Neuropsychiatric Association Dr. Richard Restak recommends that people should stop drinking entirely once they reach the age of 65 to lower their risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. In his book, "The Complete Guide to Memory: The Science of Strengthening Your Mind," he describes alcohol as a weak neurotoxin, suggesting that avoiding it is vital for preserving brain health as we age.
