Description
Hee Yun Lee and co-authors link hot days, drinking, and childhood in this 2026 study of older Americans. Heat waves are growing longer and stronger, older bodies handle heat poorly, and drinking among older adults has climbed for two decades.
Using a national ageing study covering 1996 to 2018 for people over 50, the team found each extra day above 95 degrees Fahrenheit nudged alcohol use up slightly. A warm relationship with one's father in childhood softened that link. Hard early experiences, a parent's substance abuse or run-ins with police, made the heat-drinking link stronger. The authors back support that builds resilience early in life.
