This is normal. Many seniors can drink in moderation without doing any damage to their health. You should be aware of the effect it can have on them and how it is processed by an older body, and the signs of alcohol abuse in seniors.<\/p>\n<p>Did you know that over 10 percent and as many as 15% of alcoholics start drinking after 65? Alcoholism is a huge concern within the senior community.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Alcohol Abuse in Seniors is Different<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The way the body processes alcohol changes over time. Seniors have much slower metabolisms, which means that alcohol stays in their system for much longer.<\/li>\n<li>At the same time, older adults can become intoxicated much more quickly and intensely than younger individuals.<\/li>\n<li>Intoxication also feels very different for seniors as they have a much lower tolerance for alcohol.<\/li>\n<li>Several chronic health conditions seniors often face can be exacerbated by alcohol abuse.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>If You Are Worried About Alcohol Abuse, Ask Yourself These Questions:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Do they feel ill-tempered often?<\/li>\n<li>Are they having trouble sleeping?<\/li>\n<li>Have they ever sustained an injury while intoxicated?<\/li>\n<li>Do they ever have a drink or two because they are feeling depressed or anxious?<\/li>\n<li>Have they lost their appetite?<\/li>\n<li>Have their hygiene-related habits declined recently?<\/li>\n<li>Has your senior parent&#8217;s physician recommended they avoid alcohol altogether?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Answering YES to any of the above means it may be time to speak to someone about alcohol abuse. <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Comfort Keepers<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/span> Vancouver can help.<\/p>\n<h2><b>The Best Senior Home Care Provider in Vancouver, BC, is Comfort Keepers<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many families prefer Comfort Keepers<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> when arranging senior home care services for a loved one in or around Vancouver, British Columbia.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you are concerned about the health and well-being of your aging loved ones, we can help with 24-hour care.
