Skip the airline water - order an alcoholic drink

Bottoms up! Here's to being an older woman.

A glass of wine, beer or a cocktail a day improves memory and might be good for the brain, says a group of researchers who tracked the cognitive effect booze had on thousands of older women over two decades.

``We tracked memory abilities in women who didn't drink any alcohol and women who drank about a half to one drink per day,'' said Dr. Francine Grodstein, associate professor of medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School.
