A member asked:

Should you stop alcohol cold turkey until you go see a doctor?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Alcohol: If you are not over-drinking alcohol it should not be a problem. If you are drinking too much you must tell your doctor. What is too much? Any amount you take that causes your concern.
