Lois, a 74-year-old widow, grew from light to daily gin use after turning 70. Alcohol abuse among older adults is rising, with 1991 hospital admissions for alcohol problems higher than heart attacks and costs reaching $60 billion in 1990. Studies warn that late onset drinking links to aging losses, isolation, and medication interactions, urging families and physicians to recognize and treat the issue.
