At least in Rats. Its a good thing there are no Rat bars, or they may be an even bigger problem. Or maybe not, since the study also showed that excessive consumption hindered performance on a number of tests. But it does increase scores on emotional memory tests. Maybe that’s what I forget I love my buddies until I’m most of the way through a botle…

Don’t Forget: Drink a Beer—Or Two—Daily!: Scientific American

“Among the normal rats, the animals that consumed moderate amounts of alcohol fared better on both tests compared with the teetotalers. Rats on a heavy alcohol diet did not do well on object recognition (and, in fact, showed signs of neurotoxicity), but they performed better than their normal brethren on the emotional memory task.”
