Alcohol and Aging Adults of any age can have problems with alcohol. In general, older adults don’t drink as much as younger people, but they can still have trouble with drinking. As people get older, their bodies change. They can develop health problems or chronic diseases. They may take more medications than they used to. All of these changes can make alcohol use a problem for older adults.

The National Survey on Drug Use and Health conducted in 2010 found that nearly 40 percent of adults age 65 and older drink alcohol. Most of them don’t have a drinking problem, but some of them drink too much. Sometimes people don’t know they have a drinking problem. Men are more likely than women to have problems with alcohol.

Older Adults are Sensitive to Alcohol's Effects As people age, they may become more sensitive to alcohol's effects.

One reason is that older people metabolize, or break down, alcohol more slowly than younger people.

So, alcohol stays in their bodies longer. Also, the amount of water in the body goes down with age.

As a result, older adults have a higher percentage of alcohol in their blood than younger people after drinking the same amount of alcohol.

Aging lowers the body’s tolerance for alcohol. This means that older adults can experience 34 N OV E M B E R 2 012

Some studies have shown that a glass (for women) or two (for men) of alcohol a day can protect against heart disease, but some people should not drink at all.

Ask your doctor if it's okay to drink, especially if you take medicine.

Although not a normal part of aging, depression is a common problem among older adults.

Drinking too much alcohol can make depression worse.

the effects of alcohol, such as slurred speech and lack of coordination, more readily than when they were younger. An older person can develop problems with alcohol even though his or her drinking habits have not changed.

Drinking Can Cause or Worsen Health Problems Drinking too much alcohol can cause health problems. Heavy drinking over time can damage the liver, the heart, and the brain. It can increase the risk of developing certain cancers and immune system disorders as well as damage muscles and bone.

Drinking too much alcohol can make some health conditions worse.

These conditions include diabetes, high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, liver problems, and memory problems. Other health issues include mood disorders such as depression and anxiety. Adults with major depression are more likely than adults without major depression to have alcohol problems. www.vall ey rev ue .co m

Some Medicines and Alcohol Don’t Mix

medicines that aid sleep, reduce pain, or relieve anxiety or depression can cause a range of problems, including sleepiness and poor coordination as well as difficulty breathing, rapid heartbeat and memory problems.

• Drinking alcohol and taking medications for high blood pressure, diabetes, ulcers, gout, and heart failure can make those conditions worse.

Medications stay in the body for at least several hours. So, there can still be a problem if you drink alcohol hours after taking a pill. Read the labels on all medications and follow the directions. Some medication labels warn people not to drink alcohol when taking the medicine. Ask a doctor, pharmacist, or other health care provider whether it’s okay to drink alcohol while taking a certain medicine.

Senior

Many older adults take medicines, including prescription drugs, over-thecounter (non-prescription) drugs, and herbal remedies. Drinking alcohol can cause certain medicines to not work properly and other medicines to become more dangerous or even deadly. Mixing alcohol and some medicines can cause sleepiness, confusion, or lack of coordination, which may lead to accidents and injuries. It also may cause nausea, vomiting, headaches, and other more serious health problems.

erkeley Springs, a fountainhead of warm mineral waters frequented

by Native Americans long before Europeans arrived in the New World, are at the heart of a mountain spa community in West Virginia’s Eastern Panhandle. First noted as Medicine Springs in 1747 on a map drawn by Thomas Jefferson’s father, the waters for many centuries have drawn visitors seeking health and relief from the stress of everyday life.

In 1776, George Washington’s family and friends drew up a plat of 134 lots, named the streets, and incorporated The Town of Bath, invoking the muses of the renowned English spa. Yet the magic of the springs prevailed, and the town and surrounding area are known by their name – Berkeley Springs.

The waters flow at a constant 74°F from the base of Warm Springs Ridge. You may still drink freely and fill your jugs at Lord Fairfax’s public tap, and wade in the ancient stone pools in the nation’s smallest state park. The town has endured cycles of notoriety, fashion, war and modern progress, but remains the Country’s First Spa, a quiet, friendly haven surrounded by West Virginia’s splendid outdoors. ß NOVEMBER EVENTS November 10 & 11 – Festival of Light – Alternative Healing Expo November 24 Morgan Arts Council Book Festival For more events, click on Calendar at www.berkeleysprings.com

Visit Historic Hedgesville

H

edgesville is located in Skinner’s Gap on North Mountain, where the original Warm Springs Road (now WV9) passed through from Alexandria, Virginia to Bath (Berkeley Springs). An abundant spring drew the first settler and today serves as Town Spring marked by a protective structure. The spring is reportedly never affected by drought and the water is a persistent 57 degrees.

In 1738, the Hedges family began to acquire land just east of the gap. During the French and Indian War in the 1750s, George Washington supervised the construction of a stockade fort in the gap called Fort Hedges. It was one of a string of forts constructed for protection against the French and their Indian allies.

The town was laid out in 1832 and established as Hedgesville by the Virginia General Assembly in 1836. At that time, a law was passed making it unlawful to “sit or loiter about Town Spring drinking spirits.” The town was finally incorporated in 1854 and in 1870 the Town Council was given control of the springs.

Custom Made Baskets • Basket weaving Classes A number of antebellum historic Full Line of Basket weaving Supplies • Jewelry structures still line the village streets, Paintings • Wood Art • Gourd Art & Much More including many original log homes. The 202 Town Spring St., Hedgesville, WV village is listed in the National Register of 304-754-7134 Historic Places.
