Question 1

how much daily alcohol would a woman have to consume to cause enlarged heart? approximately.

Accepted Answer

Alcohol : People vary their sensitivity to alcohol depending on their genetic makeup. I don't think that there's evidence for minimum and maximum doses.

Question 2

can daily alcohol use cause overall dehydration? can that in turn cause hair to start falling out more than typical amounts?

Accepted Answer

Yes and No.: Yes to the first question and No to the second.  Obtain a TSH test for hypothyroidism since that is a frequent cause of hair loss.

Question 3

can heavy daily alcohol use cause gallstones. or damage to the gallbladder. quit drinkin now gallbladder attacks afta fatty foods.did alcohol do this?

Accepted Answer

Yes : heavy alcohol use can damage your liver fist.  The gallbladder is part of biliary system- same as liver.  Alcohol can also trigger pancreatitis, that also can be triggered by gallstones.  Fatty foods can trigger gallbladder pain.  Basically, the point is that everything is related, and I highly recommend for you to stop drinking and eating fatty foods.

Question 4

how might the absence of any noteworthy ill effects be explained, given moderate/heavy daily alcohol use & 5+ yrs. of adderall xr & xanax (alprazolam) xr?

Accepted Answer

Withdrawal: There is no explanation for that except for the fact that your body needs to continue to receive these drugs and alcohol for you to feel ' normal '. However if you were to stop then you would go through the effect of withdrawal

Question 5

i been taking hydrocodone for 6 years i started when i was 17, now i'm 23 i take 7 to 10 daily with alcohol, i'm addicted, will i die soon because of this?

Accepted Answer

Hepatotoxic : Hydrocodone preparations are compounded with Acetaminophen  which is toxic to the liver in high doses. Alcohol is also toxic to the liver. A combination as you described puts you at high risk of liver damage and possibly  liver failure and death. Unless you are a politician, famous athlete or musician, the chance of obtaining a liver transplant  would be about nill. Stop both now...

Question 6

daily intakes of alcohol reduces sex?

Accepted Answer

It can: Cut down on alcohol. If doesn't help see doctor.

Question 7

my husband takes 120 ml of alcohol daily that is 2 large pegs is it ok for his health ?

Accepted Answer

Alcohol: It is difficult to answer your question.  Alcohol drinks have different strengths (alcohol content).  However, on average, each drink has about 14 grams of alcohol.  For men to drink more than 60 grams of alcohol per day is excessive and at risks for many complications, especially liver failure.  Suggest 2 glasses of red wine for men.

Question 8

can i take alcohol daily 60 ml after anjioplasty?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can: Latest research suggests that moderate drinking cuts the rate of further narrowing after surgery to open blocked arteries. Moderation is the key. Also for more information and certainty check with your cardiologist, just in case.

Question 9

what is the risk if i take 60 ml alcohol daily after anjioplasty?

Accepted Answer

Not much risks: Latest research suggests that moderate drinking cuts the rate of further narrowing after surgery to open blocked arteries. Moderation is the key. Also for more information and certainty check with your cardiologist, just in case.

Question 10

how long can a person with cirrhosis live who still drinks alcohol daily, doesn't eat very much or some days doesn't eat at all.

Accepted Answer

Under five years: When i trained, a diagnosis even of early cirrhosis in a person who continued to drink usually meant death within five years. You're on lactulose and are jaundiced so things are progressing. Now, i'm betting there is somebody who loves you and wants you to stop. Alcoholic cirrhosis is partially reversible with sobriety. I'd love to hear that you chose life.
