What is the current recommendation on alcohol intake, from the National
Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, for healthy adults over age 65
years
Answer:
no more than one drink per day (maximum of seven drinks in 1 week) and
never more than three drinks on a given day
Alcohol can worsen certain chronic conditions, such as osteoporosis, memory
loss, congestive heart failure, hypertension, impaired balance, and liver
disease. It increases hypertension by negatively affecting the mechanisms for
blood pressure control, specifically baroreceptors, cortisol levels, and the
renin-angiotensin/aldosterone systems. In addition, changes to blood vessels
and the heart can be harder to detect as alcohol dulls the pain sensations that
can warn of a heart attack.16
