Can Alcoholism Cause Swollen Arms And Legs?
I have a coworker whom I know abuses alcohol daily and has a myriad of health problems relating to alcohol consumption... headaches,lethargy,etc..She has had a gastric bypass operation 4 years ago so has a number of dietary restrictions that she seems to diligently adhere to--except for the drinking of course. Could her swollen arms legs, ankles, and feet be manifestations of her chronic alcoholism.? I'm a pharmacist and concerned for her health....

as you are pharmacist you are very well known that alcohol has addictive property and already you has such multiple problem which precipitated by alcoholic intake.
also alcohol cause gastritis and so flare of your gastric problem.
alcohol cause headache lethargy etc.
also consult psychiatrist if you have very strong urge to take alcohol and also take treatment for that.
Thank you
