@wctdoc1943 I don't drink but my husband seems to think it helps him. His physical condition is not good as he uses a walker so drink does not help. I finally gave in to him and an occasional glass of wine seems ok. More than he has a tendency to get an edge(can be mean to me) and does not help with sundowners. We have been married 36 years and he was more a party guy but rarely over the edge. The neurologist says no drinking with dementia as it affects the brain. So much has been taken away I feel a glass of wine is minor. He was having a couple hard alcohol drinks and it was bad and I took video so he could see. So a glass of wine minor.

@wctdoc1943 I don’t drink either, I have found cbd gummies with thc are very helpful. I get them through the mail, but it depends on where you live, if that’s an option. Thank you for reaching out. Good luck to you.
