I am 18 years old, and this question from my grandfather-How much alcohol can someone over 50 safely drink, and does our tolerance change with aging?

Hello sir, there is no safer unit of consuming alcohol. Alcohol is the playing a role to make people over age than real age. According to american studies 21 unit per week is less effective on male. That is tolerable for male per weak. Above it leads to liver disease. Thank you.
