I believe you are ok to have a few drinks while taking Plavix. Do not stop taking it without first consulting your doctor. Enjoy your pints and as long as you drink responsibly all should be fine.

I've had 3 stents now for about 12 years I have slowed down allot with alcohol but for about 8 years after my heart attack I was quite a heavy drinker and taking plavix and aspirin and I don't think i had a problem but now I wonder why I didn't look after myself better as I don't feel as good as I should

Try to improve now. Not too late to develop better habits. Discuss with your doctor appropriate levels of activity and cut back the alcohol if your drinking too much. Again, the doctor is the best to advise.
