What could happen if you drank alchohol while on warfarin?

Bleeding: alcohol may cause blood to become "more thin" while on coumadin (warfarin) and this could lead to serious bleeding.

Drinking alcohol can affect the way warfarin works in the body and increase the risk of bleeding. While taking warfarin, it’s best to either avoid alcohol or drink in moderation and let one’s doctor know about his or her alcohol consumption, as it may affect how the person’s therapy is monitored.
