A member asked:
Is it a bad idea to drink alcohol if you are neutropenic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Alcohol in the blood stream has been shown to alter the function of neutrophils, and not in a beneficial fashion. If you already have an insufficient number of neutrophils and then render them handicapped your ability to fight infections will be hampered.
