It depends on what medications you are taking and how great a fall risk you are. My husband stopped drinking because he dislikes adding to the fog in his brain. YMMV

I still have a glass or three of wine here and there. It sometimes affects me negatively, that is when I just dump it in the sink. Other times. it affects me in a good way, like it balances me out when I feel super anxious or excited about something. I have cut back a lot since I sold my business and just work part time.
