abstract: GIVEN THE national emphasis on alcohol and its potential misuse this is a timely publication. it is widely acknowledged that older people are not always able to access mainstream services as a result of comorbidity, mobility and transport problems. The authors address these issues and also approach difficult areas such as cognitive impairment and the changes in roles and friendships that older people experience. Readers are encouraged to consider the influences, patterns and triggers that affect the development and progression of alcohol dependency in this age group, and to be creative in addressing their needs.
