The three people I know who have alzheimers DO NOT DRINK and never did. Sad to think that one drink a day would have prevented such a miserable end to their lives.

It's sad but please remember, this study-analysis only suggests a statistical reduction by 23%....having a drink everyday is no 'guarantee' of an Alzheimer's -free life by any means.

I bet you might like those creamy concoctions made with creme de cacao, Kahlua, etc. I brought those to a party and everybody loved them. The only problem was that the servings were only supposed to be 2 or 3 ounces each, and people were drinking 8 to 12 ounce servings lol!
Maybe you can ask a bartender for a Pink Lady or a Pink Squirrel. Cheers!

Thank you for the martini recipe. Is that how you see the glass after you’ve had the whole thing? Are “bitters” bitter?

I’ve had a few pink squirrels years ago and I must say it is the one drink that didn’t taste like alcohol—they should serve it in malt shops...if there were any left...
