Interesting facts about body fat enzymes and hormones. Facts about quantity and alcohol % impacting on what is a standard drink - not generally known to the public despite web references like drinkwise to educate and advise Its a reminder that when assessing for admissions in any health setting how important it is to have accurate information. Alcohol is problematic in aged care especially with the next wave of baby boomers and the new standards focus on consumer choice. Residential aged care are not required to have RSA to serve alcohol. This needs to be addressed.
