As I recall (though my memory isn't what it once was..) it refers to use by alcoholics and not the casual use of alcohol. I'm pretty sure that there are a number of positive effects from moderate alcohol use and I'd guess that such use doesn't put ones memory in jeopardy. I could be wrong though and perhaps I'm just attempting to reassure myself.

There are a bunch of positive effects. Teetotalers have a higher mortality rate than moderate drinkers, but the break even point is around 3 drinks/day for men
