A member asked:
Is moderate alcohol consumption contraindicated for someone who has parkinson's disease?

Avoid excess: Balance deficits and falls continue to plague those with Parkinson’s disease. Alcohol is known to alter balance itself by decreasing muscle responses, therefore, it makes sense to avoid moderate alcohol consumption to avoid falls and further injuries.
