Can I just ask is it dangerous to have a few alcoholic drinks with Apixaban?

We have a family wedding in a few weeks.  If the drinks were spread out between afternoon and evening?

Everything in moderation I always say.  Just be aware that alcohol  can increase the anticoagulant affect of most drugs so take it easy. Go for it if you want to and are sure that alcohol is not one of your AF triggers.
