The Plavix literature says to avoid alcohol. I will be asking the cardiologist about how stringent this "warning(?)" is when I see him next week.
I would dearly hate to have to not be able to have my wine with my meals. Or an occasional after dinner drink.
What have some of you that are on Plavix done about alcohol consumption?

I have been on plavis sine 2000, i have drank 4 beers after golf and never have had any problems at all. in fact to save costs i only take my meds 5 out of 7 days for many years. I take 7 meds. The best one that has made the best results for me is Lovasa It is a refined fish oil, but it has made a big difference. I had 2 heart attacks , and a third stent put in before i had a heart attack,
