http://www.nia.nih.gov/health/agepages/alcohol.htm

Extractions: Alcohol Use and Abuse Anyone at any age can have a drinking problem. Great Uncle George may have always liked his liquor, so his family may not see that his drinking behavior is getting worse as he gets older. Grandma Betty was a teetotaler all her life she started having a drink each night to help her get to sleep after her husband died. Now no one realizes that she needs a couple of drinks to get through each day. These are common stories. The fact is that families, friends, and health care professionals often overlook their concerns about older peoples drinking. Sometimes trouble with alcohol in older people is mistaken for other conditions that happen with age. But alcohol use deserves special attention. Because the aging process affects how the body handles alcohol, the same amount of alcohol can have a greater effect as a person grows older. Over time, someone whose drinking habits havent changed may find she or he has a problem. Facts About Alcohol and Aging Some research has shown that as people age they become more sensitive to alcohols effects. In other words, the same amount of alcohol can have a greater effect on an older person than on someone who is younger.

Extractions: Wine, Alcohol and Your Health Wine is not only the oldest dietary alcoholic beverage but the oldest medicinal agent in continuous use throughout human history. The use of wine dates back more than 6,000 year with interest by physicians, scientists, poets and peasants. Even today, wine and other alcoholic beverages are classified as foods (it's the U.S.D.A.'s fifth food group) and is used daily in most cultures. More healthy benefits have been bestowed upon wine than any other natural substance. There are few known unhealthy effects from moderate amounts of alcohol consumption, with negative consequences seen mostly in heavy drinkers. Women are more susceptible to alcohol not only because of size, but due to the less amount of alcohol dehydrogenase in their stomach, which breaks down alcohol before it's absorbed. Once in the blood alcohol is destroyed in the liver. Most wine contains about 12% ethyl alcohol (ethanol), with only a very small percent of other types of alcohol. Sweet dessert wines may contain up to 20% alcohol. This compared to 40% (80 proof and 50% (100 proof alcohol in distilled products like vodka and gin. The pH of wine (its acidity) closely resembles that of a healthy stomach, one reason why wine improves digestion. Eating natural fats with wine slows the absorption of alcohol and protects the intestine from possible irritation. Wine also contains vitamins B-1, B-2, B-6 and niacin, as well as traces of most minerals, especially iron. Most red table wine contains significant amounts of iron in the easily usable ferrous form.

http://www.med.unc.edu/alcohol/prevention/health.html

Extractions: Bowles Center for Alcohol Studies , University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Alcohol goes directly into the bloodstream, physically affecting the whole body. Some illnesses and health problems caused by alcohol include: Hangovers . Headaches, nausea, vomiting, aches and pains all result from drinking too much. Drinking to the point of drunkenness makes you sick. Weight gain . Alcohol is not water. A beer has about 150 "empty" calories that provide few if any nutrients. High blood pressure . Along with being overweight, high blood pressure is associated with many serious health problems. Depressed immune system Impaired immunity makes you more likely to contract viral illnesses such as flu and infections. Cancer . 2-4% of all cancer cases are related to alcohol. Upper digestive tract cancers are the most common, hitting the esophagus, mouth, larynx, and pharynx. Women who drink prior to menopause are more likely to develop breast cancer. Your risk of skin cancer doubles if you drink slightly more than "moderate levels." Some studies implicate alcohol in colon, stomach, pancreas and lung cancer. And let's not forget the liver... Liver disease . Heavy drinking can cause fatty liver hepatitis cirrhosis and cancer of the liver. The liver breaks down alcohol at the rate of only one drink per hour.

If you take medications, ask your health care provider for advice about alcoholintake, especially if you are an older adult. Advice For Today.
http://www.health.org/nongovpubs/aldietguide/

Extractions: Alcoholic beverages supply calories but few nutrients. Alcoholic beverages are harmful when consumed in excess, and some people should not drink at all. Excess alcohol alters judgment and can lead to dependency and a great many other serious health problems. Taking more than one drink per day for women or two drinks per day for men (see box) can raise the risk for motor vehicle crashes, other injuries, high blood pressure, stroke, violence, suicide, and certain types of cancer. Even one drink per day can slightly raise the risk of breast cancer. Alcohol consumption during pregnancy increases risk of birth defects. Too much alcohol may cause social and psychological problems, cirrhosis of the liver, inflammation of the pancreas, and damage to the brain and heart. Heavy drinkers also are at risk of malnutrition because alcohol contains calories that may substitute for those in nutritious foods. If adults choose to drink alcoholic beverages, they should consume them only in moderation (see box)- and with meals to slow alcohol absorption.
