Hi.
My mother "self-medicated" herself with gin and tonic everyday from the time of menopause to approximately the age of 60. She stopped as she began having abnormal test results on her liver. I do not know how many drinks she drank each day ..but I do know it was several EVERY DAY.
I worried about it & when I would bring up the issue...she became very angry with me.
I do know that after quitting for awhile her lab reports came out much better.
Take good care!
