A member asked:
Hi, if you drink too much alcohol will it thins or thicken your blood? what are the effects on coagulation? thank you
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No effect, but...: Alcohol itself has no effect on blood clotting. Of course long term excess alcohol can damage the liver, and in advanced cases (cirrhosis) blood may clot less readily ("blood thinning").
