However, it\u2019s crucial to be aware of how alcohol can physically and mentally affect elderly adults, and how those signs of alcohol abuse can look different in seniors.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Alcohol Use and Seniors: When Changes As We Age?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The way we process alcohol changes<\/strong> &#8211; Our metabolisms slow down when we get older, and this means that alcohol stays in our blood for a longer period.

Seniors may have conditions that are exacerbated by alcohol use, and often their medication cannot be mixed with alcohol.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While some seniors may discuss with their doctors what their situation is and find that they are fit to consume alcohol, many who don\u2019t may find an array of signs and symptoms<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Signs and Symptoms of Alcohol Use in Seniors:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Feelings of agitation when not drinking<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Lying about drinking habits<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Social or financial problems as a result of alcohol abuse<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Loss of appetite<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Drinking to combat feelings of depression or anxiety<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are many programs out there that specifically cater to seniors and alcohol, and studies have found that these sorts of programs are more effective when they target a specific age group.
