A member asked:

Does alcohol consumption thin blood?

Dr. Bernard Seif answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Yes, and that may: Be a good or bad thing for you depending on your health. Too much creates obvious social and behavioral problems (including depression) and can raise potential for stroke. If your doc thinks you are in good health, moderate alcohol can be fine.
