Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history of red blood in stool in the last few weekends - usually drinks redbull vodka - wants to know whether redbull vodka can cause this...
Vodka is a drink which can increase congestion and edema in the area which is more susceptible like the pre-existing internal hemorrhoids, old scars and so on.
Once you take the redbull vodka the piles are congested so much that they rupture and cause the red blood to appear in stool. There is a possibility of colitis with ulcers too.
Hence I would advise you the following:
Stop redbull vodka, for that matter any alcoholic beverages at the moment.
Get per-rectal digital examination and an appointment for colonoscopy and biopsy.
This will give you the correct diagnosis of whether you have hemorrhoids, polyp, ulcer and hence make a guided treatment possible.
I find this answer helpful
