Problem drinking in older adults

Late-life problems with alcohol can result from life events that commonly occur with age. Boredom after retirement or loneliness after the death of a spouse are just two reasons why a person might start drinking later in life. 
In general, older adults don't drink as much as younger people, but they can still have trouble with drinking.  The National Institute for Health has produced a short video on their site to learn about later-life problems with alcohol and other causes of late-onset drinking.   

Watch the video, read the topic review and check the quiz here.
