A member asked:
I am on blood thinner due to recurrent blood clots and a pluminary embolism several years ago. can i drink any alchohal at all during this time?

Be careful: You need to be very careful. You could have one maybe 2 drinks at the most. Under no circumstance should you become intoxicated. If you loose balance and fall there could be serious bleeding.

Yes, you can: Once in a while, it is ok to take one small drink, but not in binges. You have to be extra careful of any fall, trauma or head banging. Bleeding in brain is disastrous and you really don't want it. Thanks.
