Of course, people who drink that much may have other issues that lead to said dementia, and alcohol use was a (poor) self-medication.
Then again, that is a lot of alcohol. Bound to have some negative effect.

I know schizophrenia can develop into dementia if not treated. Perhaps depression, anxiety and other mental disorders also result in faster brain deterioration. I've also found studies linking calming pills like xanax and valium to earlier dementia.
