Any caregivers going thru excessive drinking with spouse with MCI?

Hy husband rarely drank if ever before being diagnosed with MCI. Now he has developed a taste for really sweet wine. Previously he disliked wine and would never drink it, but now he will buy it at the grocery store if he goes with me and asks for a glass every Friday and Saturday night. If this continues I will definitely be keeping an eye on the habit. I stopped drinking years ago for health reasons, but I used to have a wine collection, so I wonder if this is where the thought comes from.

@klsquires My sister drank wine before she was diagnosed. I’m not sure how much. She now says she likes to have a glass of wine with dinner and while making dinner. She still lives by herself and sometimes when I see her in the evening and when I call her to remind her to take her evening meds she has had too much to drink. I think if you can keep it to one glass on the weekend he should be fine. My sister buys one bottle of wine when I take her to the store. When it’s gone it’s gone until we go to the store again. Take care
