For a little over 3 years i used to drink during weekends in college. rarely i'd binge drink. i'm worried i'll get pancreatitis in the future? i haven't drank since and i've rarely smoked in my life. am i at risk?

You are likely no more at risk for pancreatitis than anyone who has never consumed alcohol. Excessive, longterm alcohol consumption is certainly risk factor, which is not your case. Obesity, smoking & family history are other pancreatitis risk factors.

Dr Singh agreed

If you abstain from alcohol, you will not get alcoholic pancreatitis. There are other causes of pancreatitis, e.g, hypertriglyceridemia, hypercalcemia and gallstones. Alcohol is a poison that never did anybody any good, ever, so stay away from it. There is no safe level of alcohol intake. Wish you good health!
