April Is Alcohol Abuse And Drinking Awareness Month in Wayne, New Jersey
Alcohol Effects Aging Wayne Adult Bodies More Than Publications Can Show
As we age, our relationship with alcohol should change as well. When we’re young, our organs are capable of withstanding most bad decisions we make. But, as our bodies slowly start losing their elasticity to take abuse, alcohol can play a different role. Alcohol, no matter how the advertising industry tries to spin it, is a poison.Every year, an estimated 88,000 people die of alcohol-related causes, making it the third most preventable form of death in the United States behind tobacco use, poor diet, and lack of exercise, according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. The World Health Organization also reports that the average American drinker consumes more than nine liters — or about two and a half gallons — of pure alcohol a year, and about a quarter of all drinkers report heavy drinking in December.
While alcohol impacts everyone, it can be particularly rough on the elderly, or those over the age of 65. Some continue to drink as they always have, while others, who may have abstained from alcohol throughout their lives, start drinking in their golden years.
