I just read in an article on news.com.au that: "drinking at least three cups of coffee a day can reduce the risk of developing alzheimers disease by as much as 60 per cent."
"Scientists believe it is the caffeine in coffee that protects against alzheimers, an incurable disorder that causes disorientation and memory loss."
I knew I'm on the right track. Can somebody pass me another Red Bull?
*Caffeine is known for its stimulating effect, clearly noted above all in the circulatory system and in the brain.

Vodka Red Bull is stimulating and prevents Alzheimer! "Drinking moderate amounts of alcohol, which has already been shown to help prevent heart disease and strokes, may also cut the risk of Alzheimerâs disease by nearly half, a Dutch study found."
