Drink up but please don't say it's good for you.
After multivariate adjustment, moderate drinkers (those who consumed less than 15.0 g of alcohol per day [about one drink]) had better mean cognitive scores than nondrinkers. ...

Habitual excess alcohol intake impairs the brain,1 but the effect of moderate consumption is unclear. A cognitive benefit from moderate alcohol intake is plausible, given the strong link between moderate alcohol intake and the decreased risk of cardiovascular disease2,3; cognitive impairment and cardiovascular disease share common risk factors.
I've seen reports several times that higher intelligence is correlated with more drinking.
I would put that into the phony research category, such as sponsored by Napa Valley Growers Association. "Prove your superior intellect by purchasing out product" is an old sale technique.
