Alcohol in moderate amounts may also promote relaxation and reduce social anxiety. However, alcohol abuse is associated with numerous negative health effects, especially among older adults. Alcohol abuse can cause serious illness, worsen other medical conditions, interfere with needed medications, and greatly decrease overall quality of life.

In fact, negative health consequences are sometimes seen in older adults at a level of alcohol or drug use that would be considered light to moderate in younger people.

Substance abuse has clear and profound effects on the health and well-being of older adults in all aspects of life. Many different organ systems can be damaged by substance abuse.
