Warfarin i regularly drink whilst on warfarin for a pe is it really that bad?

Warfarin & alcohol: Warfarin is notorious for interacting with various medications and food stuffs, including alcohol. Alcohol enhances the action of warfarin, i.e., blood thinning effect. Moderate consumption of alcohol is permitted in the absence of liver disease.Best is to avoid alcohol.

Bad idea: Since warfarin works by interfering with the liver's production of clotting factors and heavy alcohol can damage the liver (or at least gives it alot of extra work to do) drinking while on warfarin is a bad idea. Someone in this position should be honest with their doctor - there may be a medication that better suits the situation.

Warfarin: Would not recommend using alcohol while on warfarin as warfarin is detoxes thru the liver
