I've been on Plavix for 5 years and I continue to have a Scotch-and-soda or a martini before dinner most nights. Other nights a glass or two of wine. I think they put that warning in for their own protection. The only side effect I've ever noticed is that a pin prick or a paper cut or a cat scratch bleeds excessively
