Queen Elizabeth Allegedly Warned By Doctors That Her Drinking Could Cause Her Death
Queen Elizabeth recently suffered a health scare, and there are rumors suggesting that her doctors are keeping an eye on the 95 years old.
In its Nov. 8 issue, National Enquirer claimed that the queen’s doctors urged her to stop drinking alcohol. After all, she’s already 95 years old so it’s no longer considered healthy for the monarch.
But the tabloid spoke to a certain expert named Dr. Gabe Mirkin that they usually consult regarding the health of A-listers and members of the royal family. And Mirkin allegedly said that the queen should give up alcohol.
“Drinking at an advanced age brings damaged nerves and inhibits the body’s ability to break down alcohol. It can also lead to fatal heart disease, stomach ulcers, diabetes, and high cholesterol which could lead to brain disease,” the source said.
Mirkin added that even just a small amount of alcohol could result in the queen’s death since she’s already in her mid-90s.
According to the tabloid, the queen also suffered a recent fall that’s why she has been using a cane. So, it’s all the more not advisable for her to drink because she could suffer another fall.
“Alcohol will impair her balance, making it likely she could fall and break her hip which would be catastrophic. This would make her even more sedentary and increase the likelihood of poor circulation and life-threatening organ failure,” the source said.
However, all of the tabloid’s and their source’s claims are not necessarily accurate.
First, the queen did not suffer a fall recently. She’s using a cane because she’s already in her 90s. It is also important to note that Prince Charles has also stepped out in public with a cane in tow. But this doesn’t also mean that he suffered a fall.
The queen’s doctors do not normally share their diagnosis to the public. And following the monarch’s recent health scare, the only information that her spokesperson released had to do with the queen needing as much rest as she could.
Even though the queen may still enjoy drinking alcohol at the age of 95, this shouldn’t be a cause for concern because she’s not a heavy drinker.
As such, it’s not true that the queen’s drinking could cause her death. And her drinking wouldn’t also trigger a bad fall because she is always surrounded by palace aides that are looking after her.
