Alcohol can have a significant impact on brain health, particularly for individuals experiencing memory changes, mild cognitive impairment, or dementia. While alcohol may be part of a person's normal routine, its effects on cognition, sleep, balance, and medication safety become increasingly important as the brain becomes more vulnerable.

In this session, you'll learn how alcohol affects a vulnerable brain and why it can contribute to worsening memory, disrupted sleep, increased fall risk, and unintentional alcohol dependence. You'll also explore how memory changes can make it difficult to accurately remember alcohol consumption, creating additional safety concerns for both the individual and their care partner.

You'll gain practical strategies to help monitor alcohol intake, encourage safer habits, and recognize situations where additional support or medical guidance may be beneficial.
