In a study that was performed on male adults, researchers found that greater memory impairment was suffered by those who consumed alcohol 3 (or more) times a day.

She further adds that there isn’t much to worry about regarding those who drank no more than 3 shots a day. Those who showed greater memory impairment belonged to the heavy drinkers’ group.
