My mother-in-law recently moved to our state after her husband passed away in the early spring. She has extreme anxiety and panics constantly to the point it's becoming a burden. The only time I have seen her relaxed was when we had a small gathering and she had a wine cooler. She was like a different person. She was friendly and easy going. I'm thinking of trying to give her 1/2 to 1 wine cooler daily in the early evening to see if it helps calm her down so she can get a good night sleep but I don't know if that is too much for an 80 year old.
We missed you!
So what? The fact they were doctors means that alcohol was ok? Today the scientific research is clear: No amount of alcohol is recommended. None. Not a single drop.
I went to the Mayo Clinic's website and says nothing of the sort! It says that in moderate amounts alcohol MAY have health benefits. It goes on to say that according to current guideline no one should start drinking alcohol in any amount. GO READ THEIR WENSITE BEFORE POSTING ON THINGS YOU HAVE NOT READ.
I really agree.
My mom drinks wine every day. Do I like it? No. Her doctors kind of tip their nose in the air at it, but, at 90, right now where she has people and supervision, what can I do. She has one medication that says she should not drink but she is still mostly in control of herself and knows the consequences.
She won't take certain medications because, "I'm afraid I'll become an addict."
THAT'S what drives me crazy.
Seriously, let her enjoy a wine cooler daily to mellow her out. For most it’s just that.
Yes but they asked. I will say for the last time: Alcohol is a very dangerous substance. It has been the cause of incalculable misery throughout mankind. This is true. Even small amounts are not recommended by top health authorities. Do what you want and enjoy your life.
I bet you’re sorry that you asked this question! LOL 😆
After reading this thread, I need a drink!!!
I hope you’re all right Gnomes.
