Los adultos mayores están bebiendo más de lo que lo hacían las generaciones anteriores a la misma edad, y esto conlleva riesgos reales para la salud. Esto puede aumentar la probabilidad de desarrollar enfermedades crónicas como demencia, diabetes, cáncer y enfermedades cardíacas. También puede empeorar el pronóstico de los adultos mayores que ya padecen estas afecciones.

A la misma vez, existe el riesgo de mezclar alcohol con medicamentos. El alcohol puede interferir en el funcionamiento de las medicinas o provocar efectos secundarios nocivos.

Independientemente de tu edad, beber menos —o no beber en absoluto— siempre es mejor para tu salud.

Older adults are drinking more than previous generations did at the same age — and it comes with real health risks. This can make it more likely to get chronic diseases like dementia, diabetes, cancer and heart disease. It can also worsen outcomes for older adults already living with those conditions.

There’s also the risk of mixing alcohol with medications. Alcohol can interfere with how medicines work or cause harmful side effects.

No matter what age you are, drinking less, or not at all, is always better for your health.

El alcohol puede darte sueño al principio, pero te priva del sueño profundo que protege tu salud mental. La falta de un descanso reparador aumenta el riesgo de padecer ansiedad y depresión. Eso significa que elegir el beber menos alcohol esta noche puede traerte una mente más lúcida mañana.

Alcohol can make you drowsy at first, but it steals the deep sleep that protects your mental health. Missing out on restorative rest increases your risk of anxiety and depression. That means choosing less alcohol tonight can support a clearer mind tomorrow.

Las presiones para consumir alcohol no siempre son evidentes, pero eso no significa que no existan. Pueden manifestarse cuando tu amigo te pide que te quedes para tomar "solo una más"; cuando tu pareja te sirve una copa sin preguntarte primero; o cuando se burlan de ti por no beber cierta cantidad durante una salida en la noche.

Resulta útil planificar con tiempo y establecer un límite. Sin embargo, cuando se trata de la presión social, a veces basta con alzar la voz con firmeza y decir "no" a una bebida para hacer la diferencia. Al principio puede resultar incómodo, pero hacer cambios positivos en tus hábitos de consumo y mantenerse fiel a tus intenciones te hará sentirte empoderado a medida que pasa el tiempo.

The pressures to drink alcohol might not always be obvious, but that doesn’t mean they’re not there. It can look like a friend asking you to stay for "just one more." A partner pouring you a glass without asking first. Being teased for not drinking a certain amount during a night out.

It’s helpful to plan ahead and set a limit. But when it comes to peer pressure, sometimes firmly speaking up and saying ‘no’ to a drink can go a long way. It might be awkward at first, but making positive changes to your drinking and sticking to your intentions will feel empowering as time goes on.
