Booze You Shouldn’t Drink When You Are Older

Our Tolerance to alcohol changes as we age.  Those nights of binge drinking then getting up for class the next day are gone.

Now that you’re pushing 40 or even older, just one or two drinks can land you in bed with a massive hangover.

Alongside increased health problems and bad interactions with medications, older adults are often advised to stop drinking entirely once they reach a certain age.
