The doctor named the amount of alcohol that causes the formation of blood clots.

Drinking alcohol and especially abusing it contributes to dehydration of the body and increases the risk of blood clots, doctors warn.
The process of thrombus formation is associated with the fact that more fluid is washed out of the body - Professor Mark Whiteley, a consultant venous surgeon and phlebologist, who specializes in varicose veins, said in an interview. The doctor reminded: blood clots form in response to trauma, they stop bleeding from the body. But it also happens that blood clots form for no good reason in one or more deep veins of the body, and they can be life-threatening. This process is known as deep vein thrombosis.

According to Professor Whiteley, alcohol is one of the main causes of thrombosis. Alcohol not only causes dehydration, but acts as a diuretic. This means that although the fluid is absorbed by the body, it is still excreted more in the form of urine. Thus, the prerequisites for the formation of clots are created.

The doctor named the amount of alcohol that causes the formation of blood clots: it is three portions of alcohol per day. One standard serving contains 13-15 g of ethanol, which corresponds to approximately 350 ml of beer or 150 ml of wine.

The same goes for caffeine. Drinks containing it (in large quantities) and alcohol can increase the risk of pulmonary embolism, in which a blood clot gets stuck in an artery in the lung, blocking blood flow.

Other risk factors. Such circumstances and disorders significantly increase the likelihood of blood clots.
