Not safe.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I am Dr. Prakash HM and I will be answering your query.
Alcohol quantity of a quarter of brandy is high for the age.
Even though few cardiac benefits are noted, it is at a lower dose and best on alternate days.
Risk of drug interactions should be watched out for.
Increased bone degeneration, risk of dementia and malnutrition is present.
Further risk of falls, toxicity, accident are present
Do reduce brandy intake and better if you can possible avoid.
