Can drinking alcohol help with dvt?
5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
No: alcohol can interfere with other medications for the DVT. Please avoid for now.

There is little: to no clinical information on this topic. As far as the DVT itself is concerned, I doubt there's any help or harm. The issue would be problems with medication. Alcohol should be avoided when on Heparin. Patients on warfarin can probably have a couple of drinks a day with no problem. There is no evidence that alcohol affects treatment with factor/thrombin inhibitors (Xarelto, Pradaxa, etc).
