Hi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
It is always healthy to avoid alcohol. Moreover when you have an underlying disease you should keep in mind that respiratory depression can happen with alcohol.
I advise you to avoid consuming it .
Take care

Hello;
welcome to HealthcareMagic
Since you have ILD and you are on medicines for high BP and plavix which is clopidogrel a blood thinner you should not take alcohol even bourbon.The whisky may give rise to dizziness and any injury to your body when you are on plavix will cause excess bleeding and whisky can also interact with other BP medicines so do not drink.
Thanks
