Alcohol may transiently increase bleeding risk via platelet inhibition; leaves open its contribution to ischemic heart disease protection.
Does alcohol ingestion impair primary hemostasis and platelet function in fasting healthy humans?
Moderate alcohol consumption impairs primary hemostasis and platelet function, which may explain its protective effect against ischemic heart disease while highlighting an increased bleeding risk.
