A member asked:
How much will my triglycerides drop if i quit drinking? been socially over drinking for years. i am on tricor (fenofibrate) now. will drinking once counter act all?

Hard to say: If your triglycerides are high enough that you have been prescribed medication, it would be better if you avoided alcohol entirely. One drink won't blow up your levels, but keep it to just 1. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
