Should Alzheimers patients be allowed to consume alcohol?


Do Alzheimer's drugs work?

Alcohol further impairs memory and concentration and older people don't metabolize it as well as younger people. For example, an elderly person consuming one drink is like a middle aged person consuming three or four. As far as Alzheimer's drugs, there is no drug that will cure AD. Most work by slowing the progression of the disease, but not all people respond to the medications. For the most part, you won't see an "improvement" in functioning, but it will slow down the course of the disease.

ya y not? they already forget... so

No. It just makes their care harder and they wouldn't remember from one drink to the next if they even had a drink. In most advanced cases they wouldn't remember from one sip to the next.

No! It would compound their problem! I don't know about the drugs, but if was a true diagnosis I would definitely try the medication my doctor suggested. Thank goodness for modern medicine!

I found lots of good information here.
