...one of the questions they ask ya to determine whether or not you might be an alcoholic is: Do you drink alone?

...is there a better time or reason?

Binge drinking is often associated with young adults, but according to a new study, more than 10 percent of people over 65 do it, too.

Among seniors, binges are most common in men and those who use cannabis, researchers found. Experts said the trend is troubling, because older people should actually be cutting back on alcohol.

"Many organizations, such as the U.S. National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism [NIAAA], recommend lower drinking levels as people get older or have more chronic diseases," said lead researcher Dr. Benjamin Han, an assistant professor of geriatric medicine at NYU Langone Health in New York City. ...

Han isn't sure why binge drinking is on the rise among older people, but he has a theory. "It is possible," he said, "that the increase in binge drinking is partly driven by increases by older women." ...

I have a couple of theories, as well ...

One: The Hildabeast is personally accounting for 90% of this increase all by herself ...
