Another thing to consider includes passing a gallstone. "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink!" Maru
Can you answer a not related question? My friend's father, brother, and sister (when she was pregnant I'd assume so may not be related) all have gall stone trouble. Serious trouble. His brother drinks a lot of ice tea so that may be a cause, not 100% sure on the father's habit. My question: my friend drinks a lot of beer and water and never had trouble. Does drinking beer and water make it less likely for him or is it an unrelated coincidence? Because my brother drinks a lot of beer, so I'd hope he'd be less likely to have stones. Me too.
But thanks for the info. He should go to the doctor for many things. But heart trouble isn't in our family. I have low blood pressure and I think others are normal. We die of old age and cancer. (Caused in part by the six million cigarettes they all smoked.)

Of course obesity can certainly make heart trouble more likely.
Thank you for the reply.
