It depends: You can as long as it is a good single malt. Seriously, it depends on whether you are taking a blood thinner (coumadin or warfarin) or not. If you are not on a blood thinner, then drinking should be fine, as long as it is done in moderation. If you are on a blood thinner, check with your doctor first before you have a scotch or any other alcoholic drink for that matter.

Yes: No medical reason that alcohol in moderation will be a problem with this problem.
