Alcohol and Ageing

Description:This report examines the drinking patterns of the present “baby boomer”
generation (the large population cohort born between 1945 and 1965) and looks
at the health implications of higher than recommended drinking in old age. Instead
of concentrating on people with alcohol problems due to heavy drinking, it looks at
the future health implications of a larger older population that contains a significant
proportion of people who drink more than the recommended level of alcohol.
