Alcohol
Heavy drinkers tend to be at a higher risk of low platelets. This is because alcoholic beverages such as hard liquor, wine, and beer would impair your platelet functions and damage the bone marrow. In addition, they would slow down the production of new blood cells in your body.
In normal users, alcohol consumption might bring immediate effects and reduce your platelet count within 10 or 15 minutes of drinking. Thus, it is better to lower the intake of alcoholic drinks so that your platelet functions can back to normal. [10]
