One in 10 older people drink to excess, scientists believe.
Scientists Warn Over-65s About Binge Drinking, as It Could Lead to 'Embarrassing Social Situations' or 'High-risk Sexual Situations'One in 10 older people binge-drink, estimate researchers who warn that embarrassing social situations and high-risk sexual encounters linked to excessive alcohol consumption can happen at any age.
Lead author of the study Dr. Benjamin Han, assistant professor at New York University's Division of Geriatric Medicine and Palliative Care, also highlighted tothat the data is from only non-institutionalized people in the U.S. and therefore does not capture older adults who may be living in long-term care settings such as nursing homes.
Han warned of the potential health risks in a statement."Binge drinking, even episodically or infrequently, may negatively affect other health conditions by exacerbating disease, interacting with prescribed medications, and complicating disease management," he said.
