Sadly, i live in Hungary, Eastern Europe. And my doctor is not very communicative with me. i have a DVT in my left calf, and i am taking warfarin. . . probably 4 the rest of my life. How serious should i take the NO alcohol rule while taking warfarin!? ....Does anyone share my predicament!? i mean i would enjoy a FEW glasses of wine now and then, seeing that im 20, and im in my first year of university.....

He is VERY serious when he says not to consume alcohol when taking warfarin. You probably know that warfarin is an anti-coagulant, meaning it's used to prevent blood from clotting. If you consume alcohol while taking warfarin it could lead to a fatal outcome. Alcohol inhibits the metabolism of warfarin, thus making it stay in your body longer, and it could potentially lead to you bleeding all over the place, into your organs, into your joints, and this is very dangerous and you could definitely die from it! Please follow your doctor's orders! All the best to you!
