How To Taper Off Alcohol?
Dear Doctor, I am 57 years old man and regularly drinking 90+30 ml of brandy mixed with hot water for the past so many years. Before that I used to take strong beer of 2 small canes. These I take before supper and giving a gap of 1 hour. Will it be alright for my health? I am perfectly alright as far as my health is concerned. S. Ravi

Hello,
In my opinion, you should get done blood reports like CBC, liver function test, kidney function test, lipid profile, urine examination, blood pressure monitoring, diabetes check up etc. If all these are normal then no need to worry for your alcohol habit.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
