Alcohol Is the Strongest Risk Factor for Dementia (2018)

The current “alcohol is the strongest risk factor for dementia” title is not in the text, nor is it accurate. A more accurate title would be “alcohol use disorders are...” or “alcohol abuse is...”

*Abusing alcohol is strongest risk factor

> Most reviews point to a possible beneficial effect of light-to-moderate drinking on cognitive health... By contrast, heavy drinking seems detrimentally related to dementia risk, whatever the dementia type.
