Alcoholism in the elderly.
This article concentrates on the identification confrontation, and treatment of the elderly with late-onset alcohol-abuse problems. The author reviews signs and symptoms that are common both to the aging process and to late-onset problem drinking. He also provides a list of laboratory "markers" that may be helpful for the diagnosis and follow-up of this not infrequent problem.
