I want to replace my 25 year old bike but my bf says I should diet and lose 20 lbs?

Even the beer?

Heh, yep...anything that thins the blood is kind of a no-no, since it increases bleeding and swelling at the injury site, which increases damage.

I'd think it'd have a net dehydrating effect...unless it somehow acts as a vasodilator and makes already leaky blood vessels even leakier. I can't find anything about vasopressin acting as a vasoconstrictor except in large doses, though.

Probably not a good idea to imbibe anyway due to interactions with painkillers and all that, though.
