Question

Can people with MS drink alcohol?

Answer 1

Alcohol can be taken in moderation but some sufferers may find that it can temporarily exacerbate MS symptoms such as problems with speech and coordination. More importantly, it inhibits the vital conversion process of essential fatty acids, increases the level of saturated fat in the blood and depletes the body's supply of valuable nutrients. Smoking also depletes blood levels of vitamin C and can worsen the symptoms of the disease.

Answer 2

im not sure, but they CAN smoke weed...its been proven to help the symptoms too...just look at montel.

Answer 3

Yes, they can. But, some medications are effected by alcohol, so they need to check with their doctor first. A small amount  of beer or wine with food is not unheard of.
