Dr. Timothy Naimi: A Substance Use Researcher on Alcohol and the Brain
September 6 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am PDT
Free
With new research calling to question how much or how little alcohol is good for the brain, many have questions if they should be drinking, even occasionally, if they’re concerned about Alzheimer’s risk. On Friday, September 6th at 10 a.m. PT/ 1 p.m. ET, University of Victoria’s Dr. Timothy Naimi will join Being Patient Live Talks to discuss the impact of alcohol consumption on brain health in the context of the latest research in the space.
Naimi is the director at the Canadian Institute for Substance Use Research and a professor in the School of Public Health and Social Policy at the University of Victoria. Having previously worked as a senior epidemiologist with the alcohol team at the CDC, his research focuses on alcohol epidemiology, the health effects of substance use, and the impact of alcohol and cannabis policies.
RSVP to learn the latest research on alcohol consumption and the brain.

I am 73 and have enjoyed drinking wine my entire adult life. Currently I have reduced my drinking to one glass of red wine every evening with dinner which is usually a relatively large cooked meal (mainly plant based now). I believe that I have inherited AD in that I have had a positive AMYVID PET scan, I know I have a single APOE4 gene also I am PTau protein positive. Is it okay to continue to drink?
