Does alcohol increase the risk of forming kidney stones ?
Jan 18, 2017

Dr. Nehme Raad Urology
Usually alcohol has no role in the physiopathology of stone formation.
Rather, it is know to have a diuretic effect that could increase the urine output volume, thus decreasing stone risk.
But it is very essential to drink in moderation because alcohol can have detrimental effect on many other organs.
An finally, don't drink and drive!
