Regular alcohol consumption reduces platelet aggregation and prolongs the bleeding time; these effects, coupled with haemodynamic changes such as vasodilatation and changes in blood pressure, may be important in causing some cases of arterial nose bleeds in adults.4,5 While the cause of nose bleeds in adults is likely to be multifactorial, the importance of high alcohol consumption should not be overlooked, and a detailed alcohol history should always be obtained.
You're funny.

Ah! Enlightening.
When I was 23 I bet a girl I could black myself 31 days in a row (I won.)
After this I noticed I would wake up and spit up a bunch of blood. I realized this wasn't healthy.
I went to the doctor and she was like..."well tell me about your drinking habits."
To which I explained that I, well, drink...a lot.
She then proceeded to hand me a bunch of pamphlets and told me to stop drinking.
I went to a wedding that night, got obliterated, spit up a bunch of blood in the morning, and banged a co-worker.
RESPONSIBLE, I AM
