If he's on Warfarin (incidentally, that's rat poison) then he shouldn't be drinking, period. It's a blood thinner and so can alcohol.

I really think he should ask the Doctor about the beer.
My girlfriend takes warfarin (blood thinner) and cannot eat broccoli, very often. She goes to the doctor, once a week and the nurse does blood work to check her blood. It should not be too thin or too thick. Too thin, can cause bleeding. Too thick, can cause a blood clot to form. Usually the Doctor gives the patient a list of foods to avoid. You might check WebMD also.

No. I am just beginning to study Pharmacology and thought this a great question.

You would be taking this anti-coagulant probably to due heart surgury. And although alcohol temporarily thins the blood I am not sure of the affect alcohol will have Warfarin's ability to function properly.

Best advise-ask your physician.
