Question 1

can you drink red wine if you r taking dan 5440 100mg?

Accepted Answer

Red wine: For dan 5440 (doxycycline) we worry more about people who consume large amounts of alcohol (more than just a glass of red wine) and those with histories of alcohol abuse.

Question 2

does drinking 4-5oz of red wine everyday good for your health? thanks

Accepted Answer

It very well may be: BUT there are serious cautions. If you really kept it to 4-5 ounces and didn't go on to gradually drink more and more, it would probably be fine....even good! But we (doctors) see SO MANY people not be able to keep to this modest amount. There is some evidence that red wine is superior to other forms of alcohol but this evidence is weak. A MODEST daily amount is not harmful; it may well be helpful

Question 3

how often do you have to drink red wine in order to make a healthy impact on your lifestyle?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Do not have more than one glass unless there is alcoholism in yor family.

Question 4

is it ok to drink red wine when preganat?

Accepted Answer

No: We don't know how much alcohol is safe to consume in pregnancy, so the best advice is to avoid it entirely.

Question 5

can i take lorazepam after drinking red wine?

Accepted Answer

Ask your doc: Questions about your medication are best answered by your doc or pharmacist as they would know any other meds or your medical history. The danger in combining alcohol and benzodiazapines or narcotics is that the effects are synergistic and can result in respiratory arrest.  That said, one 6 oz glass of wine in a healthy adult should clear your system in an hour or 2.  Benzos take much longer.

Question 6

after drinking red wine my face got puffy next day?

Accepted Answer

Sulfite allergy : Wine does contain sulfites, and you could have developed an allergy to them. This is most likely true if you already have a known sulfa allergy. Or, you could have passed out and/or fell asleep with your head tilted lower than your feet and more blood drained to your face overnight.....

Question 7

what are the health benefits of drinking red wine occasionally?

Accepted Answer

None: Alcohol is a poison and never did anybody any good, ever.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex.

Question 8

how much red wine should i drink each day to get the health benefits?

Accepted Answer

Well.............: Health benefits of alcohol intake include wine, beer and liquor (not including what you mix it in).  Red wine is not significantly better.  Studies show that people who drink 1-2 standard size beverages a day have better cardiovascular outcomes than those who do not.  One standard beverage is 12 oz beer, 5 oz wine, or 1.5 oz liquor.  Any day with more than 2 is not as good, so more is not better.

Question 9

is it bad for health to drink 8 oz red wine every evening? im a 46 year old female, 123 lbs.

Accepted Answer

Yes, very bad: And better stop tonight, check AA if you have a problem, good luck

Question 10

hepatitis b, can i drink red wine?

Accepted Answer

Be careful: If someone has active hepatitis b infection, they are at risk for liver cancer even if they do not have cirrhosis. Alcohol may increase the risk of developing liver cancer, cirrhosis, and liver failure. It is probably safest to eliminate alcohol (maybe a glass of wine on your birthday).
