Although older individuals drink less and report fewer alcohol-related problems than do younger individuals, alcohol use and abuse are significant health issues for older patients and discussion of alcohol consumption is a critical part of every history and physical examination.
Screening for problem drinking in older primary care patients.
- MedicineJAMA

Alcohol consumption in excess of recommended limits is common among elderly outpatients and the CAGE questionnaire alone is insufficient to detect such drinking, so asking questions on the quantity and frequency of drinking in addition to administering the CAGES increases the number of problem drinkers detected.

Evidence that intervention decreases alcohol intake and health problems should be a strong motivator for including alcohol screening in practice and this article contributes to the literature on the powerful impact of physician counseling on behavior.
