Question 1

would 3 months of frequent binge drinking (1 entire bottle of wine within one hour) lead to oesophageal varices ?

Accepted Answer

Esophageal varicies: Esophageal varices develop with the presence of advanced alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver which generally takes many years of heavy alcohol ingestion. After only 3 months of heavy drinking you may develop liver inflammation(alcoholic hepatitis) but not enough time for advanced cirrhosis(scarring) of the liver to form and, therefore, varices wouldn't develop.  Hopefully you won't abuse alcohol.

Question 2

is drinking a full bottle of wine daily harmful?

Accepted Answer

Alcoholism: Yes. That is a lot of alcohol and a lot of sugar calories. It represents a cornerstone of the disease of alcoholism.

Question 3

how can i stop palpatations after drinking a bottle of wine?

Accepted Answer

Don't drinl it: Drink slowly and don't drink the whole bottle.

Question 4

does drinking 3 bottles of wine a week really  affect fertility?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Alcohol can affect fertility in men. It is best to minimize alcohol to 3-4 drinks (1 drink is equivalent to one beer, one glass of wine, ...Etc.) weekly or less. In women, alcohol can also have a negative effect as it can damage an early pregnancy.

Question 5

i drink once a week with friends, sharing a bottle of wine.  am i okay?

Accepted Answer

Probably unless?: Believe it or not problems with alcohol are not always defined by amount drank, but instead by what happens to you when you do drink. Do you engage in risky behavior, does it create conflict with others? I'm streching of course because i would suspect this would only be about 2 drinks max, right? Doing that once a week is likely ok for people with out drinking problems, or serious medical issues.

Question 6

is it safe to drive at lunch hour tomorrow after drinking half a bottle of home made white wine?

Accepted Answer

No: It's not safe to drive today after drinking wine, or after smoking pot, or after using a potentially sedating medication (of which there are many out there). Likewise, it's not safe to drive tomorrow after drinking wine, or after smoking pot, or after using a potentially sedating drug. It's not which day it is that matters, but whether or not all of the drugging substances are out of  the body.

Question 7

i stopped drinking 4 days ago. i drank about one bottle of wine on 5 days of the week for past year. am i past point of serious withdrawal? i feel ok

Accepted Answer

No issue: Congratulations on your endeavor.  If you have not had any adverse effects after 4 days, it means that you had yet become dependent on alcohol. Stay the course.

Question 8

i drink a bottle of wine 14% nearly every night as if stuck to recommended units you may as well not drink,i'm not an alcoholic ,i feel fine so is ok?

Accepted Answer

Problem drinking: If you are consuming 1 bottle of wine by yourself daily, you definitely meet the definition of problem drinking and likely are dependent on alcohol. The phrasing of your question suggests that 1) you are tolerant of alcohol and 2) someone is concerned about your drinking and the effects it has on you. Both are concerning for addiction. Please consider consulting with a physician in person for help

Question 9

i have drink 4 bottle of wine last 4 days i just want to know how is the alcohol gonna from my body as i have a medical test in 3 days i do smoke too?

Accepted Answer

Perhaps a more: important issue is about the choices you are making with smoking and drinking.  You are young and have a chance to turn thing around before your health and relationships get damaged.  Please call the doc who ordered the test and ask about any contraindications for testing.  Peace and good health.

Question 10

hi dr. i've quite worried about getting delirium termens after drinking heavily and constantly for a week. approximately 2 bottles of wine daily as we?

Accepted Answer

The facts: Sounds like you definitely have a alcohol problem, and need to be seen by a physician ASAP.  You should be taking supplemental thiamine daily, and likely should consider a rehab program like Alcoholics Anonymous.
You SHOULD be concerned, as you will be at profound risk if this continues.
