When is the last time you popped a bottle of champagne?
If you can’t remember, you might want to do that soon. A study from Reading University says drinking three glasses of champagne a week will boost our memory and could even help stave off dementia and Alzheimer's. They say the phenolic acid content in the grapes used for champagne is what helps combat forgetfulness and improve spacial memory.
They tested their theory on some lucky rats. Those who indulged in daily champagne outmaneuvered the non-bubbly rats in a maze every time. For their next experiment, the researchers will be asking a group of humans over the age of 65 to take a three year champagne challenge.
