There is a person that I work with that has told people that he can no longer drink alcohol because he had his spleen removed. He used to be a very very heavy alcoholic, so we thought he was using this as an excuse to get a job. So can a person still drink with a removed spleen? Please help me out and give me an answer.Thankyou

i had my spleen removed as a 15 year old and was recommended not to drink my surgeon, because the spleen has a lot to do with the immune system. so lacking one i have a lowered immune system and as alcohol also lowers your immunity it is generally not a good idea
