Swollen Feet and Ankles – Symptoms And Causes

Alcohol Consumption

Consuming alcoholic drinks would cause swollen feet and ankles. This is because the body tends to retain more water after this. Fortunately, this condition will go away in several days. In case it does not disappear, this may be a cause for concern. When swelling happens often when you drink wine or beer, it would indicate an underlying problem with your kidneys, heart, or liver. Another possibility is that you are drinking too much. To treat this condition, you should drink more water, elevate your feet, reduce salt consumption, and get your feet soaked in cold water. [3]
