The Royal College of Psychiatrists says people over 65 should drink a maximum of only 1.5 units of alcohol a day.

That is the equivalent of just over about half a pint of beer or a small glass of wine.

New Goverment Guidelines for Drinking over the age of 65

Looks like they will bring in an upper age limit for drinking as well :rofl: :rofl:

And exactly when did Psychiatrists become experts in alcohol and it's physical problems?

They are medical doctors some of whom will deal with alcohol related problems all the time. The physiological effects of alcohol are likely related to the psychological effects in at least some respects. For example the effect of alcohol on nutrition leading to Korsakoff's syndrome, from memory.

My dad took early retirement at 62, from then on he went out every day to his local club, drank around 4 pints each lunch time then a few homebrews in the evening. When he died 22years later it was nothing to do with drink. Just hope I've inherited his genes
