Summary/Abstract: Alcohol consumption by the elderly is not a marginal problem. It applies to 73% of men and 35% of women over 65 years of age. Because the symptoms of alcohol  abuse by elderly people resemble symptoms of the aging process of the body, in order to confirm the existence of the alcohol problem, it turns out to be an effective use of  appropriate tools and techniques.
