Yes, a person with Hemophilia can drink alcohol, however drinking in excess is not good for anyone. Alcohol itself does not interact with the actual medications taken (Clotting Factor Proteins) for hemophilia. Since alcohol can thin a person's blood, alcohol consumption can make a current bleeding issue worse. If there is no active bleed, alcohol should make little to no difference in that end of the hemophiliac's medical spectrum.

Other complications often found in some older hemophiliacs may include liver disease at which point alcohol definitely creates a larger problem and can speed up liver damage but this is not due to hemophilia itself.

In short, Alcohol in excess is not good for anyone, but hemophiliacs can drink alcohol if they are conscious of their own situation and are responsible about it.

Offhand, it doesn't sound like a good idea because of possible complications involving the liver. Please discuss this with your hematologist.
