Questions for your doctor

Preparing questions in advance can help patients have more meaningful discussions with their physicians regarding their conditions. Patients may wish to ask their doctor the following questions about alcohol use:

  1. Is it safe for me to consume alcohol?

  2. Will alcohol interact with my medications? 

  3. How much alcohol is it safe for me to drink?

  4. Will alcohol affect my unborn child?

  5. How can I tell if I have an alcohol problem?

  6. Where can I find help for quitting drinking?

  7. Are there any benefits to drinking alcohol?

  8. Should I quit drinking alcohol entirely?
