PXE International is not aware of alcohol having any specific effect on the disease process in PXE. However, accidents and falls are certainly a greater risk with heavy alcohol consumption, and this might increase the risk of retinal hemorrhage. Heavy alcohol consumption might predispose to gastric bleeding due to its effects on the lining of the stomach.
