A member asked:
I am currently taking ginkgo biloba tablets once a day for my bad memory. can i also drink alcohol?

Save your money: Gingko is worthless. No evidence it helps prevent or restore memory loss in any condition. But do you have a history of heavy alcohol usage, and, if so, that may explain your memory issues, and maybe b vitamins, especially thiamine 50 mg daily may help a lot.
