Summary

Excessive alcohol use may accelerate the onset and progression of Alzheimer’s disease, according to a new study from Scripps Research.

The findings suggest that inflammation, a common link between alcohol use disorder and Alzheimer’s, may play a role in this acceleration.

Limiting alcohol use is a controllable factor that could help reduce the risk of cognitive decline.
