A member asked:
Can you drink alcohol if you have low iron?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: if you have gastritis or a bleeding ulcer as the cause for your low iron I would severely limit consumption

TryHeavn'sGrapeJuice: Well, it won't make you feel any stronger in the long run.Some say alcohol stores iron in the body but I don't think that is significant unless you are a lush (like several drinks a day for several years,like,you know,a flaming drunk)The bright side is that wine is made of grapes which contain a fair amount of iron(100gm=2%RDA) and wine has .6mg/5oz=roughly 10%RDA. But there are better sources.
