Blood alcohol levels in acute elderly admissions to hospital.

N D Penn1, O J Corrado, L J Pitchfork, R T Evans, B H Mascie-Taylor.   

Abstract

Blood alcohol levels were estimated in 141 patients admitted acutely over a one month period to a geriatric unit. Only four (2.8%) had alcohol detectable in their blood. The levels were low, suggesting that alcohol intoxication is not a major factor in the admission of the elderly to hospital.
