Older patients who consume alcohol regularly are more likely to report having a better quality of life before and after surgery, research has found.
A study from the University of Bonn asked patients over 60 who had a planned operation to report their drinking habits and fill out a questionnaire on their wellbeing in the period surrounding the procedure.
Respondents who routinely drank a “potentially unhealthy amount” of alcohol generally said their quality of life was better compared with those who drank low amounts or no alcohol at all.
