DR. CARRIE JONES IS ANSWERING YOUR QUESTIONS
In this episode:
Can we still drink alcohol after 40, 45, 50?
Can we drink wine? Why does alcohol seem to hit harder after age 40?
When/if we do drink, can we preempt the consequences?

True hydration isn't just about water - don't ignore salt and other minerals.
You can even add trace minerals or zero-sugar electrolytes
Iodized table salt is not good for you. Swap it for Himalayan salt, Celtic salt or some other mineral rich salt.
