Aging and Alcohol Abuse - Age Page - Health Information: NIA (Excerpt)

There are two types of problem drinkers--chronic and situational. Chronic abusers have been heavy drinkers for many years. Although many chronic abusers die by middle age, some live well into old age. Most older problem drinkers are in this group.

Other people may develop a drinking problem late in life, often because of "situational" factors such as retirement, lowered income, failing health, loneliness, or the death of friends or loved ones. At first, having a drink brings relief, but later it can turn into a problem. (Source: excerpt from Aging and Alcohol Abuse - Age Page - Health Information: NIA)
