What happens when you drink alcohol? I think alcohol thins the blood, right? So, does it happen less?

I stopped drinking a while ago, so I can’t answer that accurately. but check out what I found:

An extensive body of data shows concordant J-shaped associations between alcohol intake and a variety of adverse health outcomes, including coronary heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, congestive heart failure, stroke, dementia, Raynaud’s phenomenon, and all-cause mortality. Light to moderate alcohol consumption (up to 1 drink daily for women and 1 or 2 drinks daily for men) is associated with cardioprotective benefits, whereas increasingly excessive consumption results in proportional worsening of outcomes.

So it sounds like 1 daily drink for me might improve the condition but more alcohol will worsen it.

Does it hurt? Can you still use them? Are there adverse risks?

It does hurt, starts out as a numbness and then there is a some mild pain. And then pins and needles when the blood comes back. I can still use them but it doesn’t feel the best. The biggest risk I’m aware of is frostbite if I am out in the cold. I like to have gloves or mittens with me at all times when it’s cold out.

What’s the risk of them dying and falling off?

Exactly what Lemmenym said - they won’t fall off, it usually passes within 10-15 minutes.

Unless it’s a very severe case that’s not likely, for most people it’s just uncomfortable. Raynaud’s does make you more vulnerable to frostbite though.

Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it’s too interesting, it doesn’t belong. If it’s not interesting, it doesn’t belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh… what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don’t spam.
