endless social events Retirement coni mtmitics have all that in abun Iitll Ellld IIIUIO liikc alcoholism Alcoholism is little known but significant problem in sun belt retirement settings such as this community of 5000 about 20 miles south of Tucson It also strikes the elderly pop ulation across the country in greater numbers than most people realize alcoholism spo cialists say In retirement areas the very nature of the community coir tributes to alcoholic problems said Don Hickcrson of the Alco holism Touncil of Southern Ari Iona You play bridge you have drink You play golf you havea drink Thcst people have idle time and they generally dont have to drive They have good incomes and dont have to show up for work or be responsible to anyone Theres only so much golf ing fishing and travelling you can do said Emerson Barker recovered alcoholic who helped start Alcoholics Anonymous here COMBATIMNICIJNESS Retirement ends the need to control drinking problem Barker said and many elderly persons drink more because there is no restraint The com mon problems of the aged also contribute Boredom loneliness and illness drive many older persons to drink If your spouse dies you get lonely and turn to booze Barker said study done in New York ity in the 1960s found alcohol ism among elderly widowcrs in one area of Manhattan to be higher than in all other groups Take man over 65 and single or widowed said Ted Robinson of the Alcoholism Council Hes setup for going tothebotlle Aged problem drinkers come into two categories There are those who survived heavy drinking until retirement and brought the habit with them and those who drank little be fore but turned to alcohol for social or psychological reasons after retirement There are few programs aimed at older alcoholics and the problem is compounded by difficulty in identifying them Drop in and see us today 180 Innisfil St has problems too said Eleanorc Schafer of the al coholism program at St Lukes Hospital in Phoenix OFTEN LIVE ALONE They are relatively hidden group she said Theyre not working so they dont have job troubles Theyre not often ar rested for driving while in toxicated And they often live alone eliminating family relt ferral In addition Robinson said the symptoms of heavy drinking among the elderly are often seen as other aging problems The physical symp toms of alcoholism can be con fused with signs of scnility he said If someone has memory troublc everybody says the old guy is senile But Robinson said loss of shorHerm memory is sign of brain damage caused by ex cessive drinking Between onofourth and one third of the alcoholism patients at St Lukes are over 55 and most of them are retired Mrs Schafer said Older alcoholics respond much better to rehabilitation programs than younger prob lem drinkers she said The rea son might be that the older ones want to rid themselves of prob lems for their remaining years while persons 23 or 30 years old find it hard to think they must go the rest of their lives without drink At St Lukes lwoycarold program called Top of the Hill is designed for older problem drinkers It is run by 72year old recovered alcoholic who quit drinking 22 years ago Man drowns near Bala HALt nt Ir Donald Allan 43 of Minett Ont drowned Monday after boat ing incident on nearby Lake Rouscau provincial police said Two charged FOREST nt Il
