An excess of f water will not thin the blood, the body does have natural safeguards to prevent this. However, an extreme excess of water in a very short period of time can result in a condition known as water intoxication. The water flushes the body of necessary salts and electrolytes and becomes 'hypertonic'. The condition is life-threatening and without immediate care, can be fatal.

If you have had blood clots years ago and now regularly drink alcohol are you more likely to get them again if you stop drinking as it may thicken the blood?

No. That is a myth. Drinking is more likely to create vascular problems than to prevent them. The thickness of your blood varies only a tiny bit, usually with dehydration (which can be caused by alcohol), and has little to do with blood clots anyway, which are caused by irritation of the interior surface of the blood vessels that causes them to release clotting enzymes. Again, this can be caused by alcohol. Quitting drinking and smoking are the two best things you can do for your overall health.


Why would eating a fatty protein rich snack while drinking alcohol decrease the amount of alcohol absorbed into the blood?
