A member asked:
Can a person with a vp shunt drink alcohol? would it cause major headaches or would it break?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Comments: Yes, alcohol can be ingested if your state allows at your age. No, would not expect major headaches unless you drink to excess and get a hangover, and no, it will not cause your shunt to break.
