This research explores the characteristics of elderly people consuming alcohol, problems use and well-being.We questioned 1004 people over 60. Of the participants, 56.8% drank moderately, 18.7% showed a risky drinking behaviour, and 18.4% reported binge drinking. We found no correlation between different drinking patterns and well-being. There is a correlation between the amount of problem use and different drinking patterns. No correlation was found between the drinking patterns and well-being.
