It's generally advisable to consult your healthcare provider about drinking alcohol if you have a colostomy bag. While moderate alcohol consumption may be acceptable for some individuals, it can lead to dehydration and affect your digestive system. Additionally, alcohol may interact with medications you might be taking. Always prioritize your health and follow your doctor's recommendations.

A doctor cannot definitively determine if a person drinks alcohol solely based on the results of a colonoscopy.

Additionally, a doctor may consider other factors, such as the patient's history or symptoms, to assess alcohol use. Ultimately, a colonoscopy is not a specific test for alcohol consumption.
