If drinking wine regularly would really harm your brain, 75% of rural 
Northern and Central Italy would be populated by drooling braindamage 
cases, and we're speaking of places like rural Tuscany, Liguria, 
Piemonte or Veneto, not exactly your typical hilly-billy spots. And the 
Dolomites would be just an giant open air madhouse - you really CAN'T 
avoid drink wine while living there.
