Question 1

is it ok to drink acohol?

Accepted Answer

Depends: While a little a day (a glass of wine or a beer or one shot of liquor) may be okay or even healthy, repeated binges of 5 or more  a day, more than a few times a month or regular use of 2 or 3 or more per day can have negative health and psychiatric consequences.  Everyone is a little different, and whether it is ok or not may depend on medicines one takes or how it affects you.

Question 2

can you drink on levoflaxin?

Accepted Answer

There are no: Strict warnings for which I am aware.  It's not such a risk that we are sure to caution everyone.  By the same token, be judicous, if so should not be a problem.

Question 3

can i eat or drink anything?

Accepted Answer

Start by: sipping clear liquids (preferrably without caffeien).

Question 4

is drinking sodas bad for you?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Sodas are the classic empty calorie if they are sugared.  They are carbonated and so acidic.  So they supply calories you might not need and can do some teeth damage taken regularly.   An occasional soda is not a problem.

Question 5

why is absinthe so bad to drink?

Accepted Answer

Alcohol + poison(?): Alcohol is not bad, it is toxic.  The form of alcohol does not make it any more or less toxic.  Absinthe contains thujone, which may or may not contribute to the toxicity of absinthe.

Question 6

how much coffe is safe to drink?

Accepted Answer

Maximum is unknown: Moderate coffee drinking is safe, but the maximum safe amount is unknown. Moderate is a vague word, but probably means 3-4 cups a day (24-32 ounces). Heavy drinking is likely 6 cups or more a day, and caffeine can cause unwanted symptoms such as increased blood pressure, increased heart rate, and sometimes irregular heart beats. Caffeine in larger doses is a mildly addictive stimulant.

Question 7

why won't my child eat or drink?

Accepted Answer

No clue: Your best bet on finding out is to write down everything that is going on, what you have tried, and take it in with you to a scheduled visit. A good history, exam and testing if appropriate can define the issue.

Question 8

i cannot eat nor drink anything?

Accepted Answer

Post a clear Ques.: We don't like guessing what people are trying to ask. If you do not ask for premium, paid services, then this HealthTap public forum is free. Post a really clear question with good grammar and spelling, and one or more of the thousands of volunteer doctors may answer it. They might skip repetitive questions or ones that have too many abbreviations, or are otherwise hard to understand.

Question 9

is drinking 1 vodkatonic healthy?

Accepted Answer

Not particularly: Alcohol in low doses (1 standard drink/day in women and older men, 2/day in men under 60) may increase our "good" cholesterol - hdl, but exercise does this much better than does alcohol. Red wine contains a chemical (resveratrol) that may be heart-healthy, but red grape juice has it too.  Amounts over the above recommended limits rapidly cause problems that outweigh any good.

Question 10

is drinking coffe bad for health?

Accepted Answer

Conflicting studies: There have been many research studies on the health effects of coffee with very conflicting results- some find it may be harmful, others find benefits. I believe large amounts of coffee are likely harmful but 1-2 cups a day is probably safe. People react variably but if you enjoy it use in moderation.
