Alcohol consumption and DVT - PTE

"Evidence from a 2015 study suggests that excessive alcohol consumption may raise the risk of DVT."

"Drinking more than three ounces of liquor per week – which is two shots of hard alcohol – increases the risk of DVT by 5 percent...there may be a stronger correlation between binge drinking (four or five drinks in two hours) or AUD than just the amount of liquor consumed per week."

"Drinking alcohol raises your risk of getting six kinds of cancer...your body breaks it down into a chemical called acetaldehyde. Acetaldehyde damages your DNA."
