Is it risky drinking beer when someone has lose stools?

No.: "loose stools" is a very non-specific term. If you're experiencing chronic diarrhea, that could predispose you to dehydration, which beer could worsen via alcohol's diuretic effects. In general, though, just because someone has loose stools is certainly not a contraindication for alcohol consumption, especially in moderation. I would advise discussing your GI symptoms with your doctor, though.

Low risk: Not risky, but it might make your stools looser.
