Question 1

how long must you wait before drinking wine again after taking biaxin (clarithromycin)?

Accepted Answer

Why wait?: There no reason to wait. The only reason to avoid alcohol would be if the biaxin (clarithromycin) were upsetting your stomach.

Question 2

how long after taking 2.5 xanax (alprazolam) before drinking wine?

Accepted Answer

Wait at least 6 hrs: Both xanax (alprazolam) and alcohol are depressants of the central nervous system, and their effects are additive. I would wait between 6 to 8 hours before consuming alcohol.

Question 3

does drinking wine cause headaches?

Accepted Answer

It can.: If you have a reaction to the sulfites (red wine) you may have a headache. If you drink too much (as with any alcohol) you may experience a headache.

Question 4

how long can i wait to take beta blocker after drinking   wine?

Accepted Answer

Depends: There is no reason to wait any time between taking a beta-blocker and a glass of wine, as long as you are limiting your wine consumption to 7 drinks/week in women (and older men, twice that in men). Wine makes some people flush and get lightheaded, and beta blockers can do the same thing, so if you are drinking 2-3 glasses of wine on one occasion, shorter acting beta blockers (inderal) should wait.

Question 5

why does drinking wine affect me differently than drinking hard alcohol?

Accepted Answer

WINE: Beer = 5% alcohol content, wine=11-13%, liquor 45-50%. 1.Oz liquor=9.Oz of beer = 4.Oz of wine. Same deadly consequences to drinker and same mental destruction to everyone else in many generations as the gene is powerfully transferred from gen to generations to men-women. No alcohol. No choice. No alternative. No intent to disregard lives of innocent others in family. Stop deadly intent.

Question 6

what could rdw of 14.6 (normal range 11-14.5 )and bands 2 mean?   could drinking wine the night before test  affect results

Accepted Answer

Retest in 1-2 weeks: An RDW of 14.6 suggests that you have a mix of large and small red blood cells. This is common in iron deficiency anemia.  "bands" are "baby" neutrophils, suggesting some kind of acute stress on your body (infection or otherwise).  Heavy alcohol use can prevent your red cells from using both iron and b12, leading to a mixed anemia over time. I suggest retesting in a few weeks without alcohol use.

Question 7

is drinking wine good for your health?

Accepted Answer

Red wine: Red wine, in moderation, has long been thought of as heart healthy. The alcohol and certain substances in red wine called antioxidants may help prevent heart disease by increasing levels of "good" cholesterol and protecting against artery damage.That means glass of wine a day with meal.

Question 8

All: Forms of alcohol, beer whiskey wine are diuretics and dehydrate especially if taking alot. The dehydration does in deed contribute to constipation. Red or white wine, makes no difference.

Question 9

does drinking wine increase acid reflux?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Wine, including red wine and other alcoholic beverages are common triggers for acid reflux. It is usually possible for my pateintws to continue to enjoy wine if had in moderation in conjunction with appropriate treatment for acid reflux.

Question 10

deoes drinking wine cause large blood cells?

Accepted Answer

Eventually...: Long-term heavy alcohol use will interfere with the function of your bone marrow, causing a shortage of the blood clotting platelet cells. Alcohol also causes reductions in vital nutrients and vitamins, such as folate (folic acid) and thiamine, which can lead to "megaloblastic" anemia with immature and larger blood cells than normal in your circulation.
