Is wine good for kidney stones?
My uncle has kidney stones, and someone told him that drinking wine can actually be good for them. This sounds a bit strange to me. Is wine good for kidney stones, or is this just a myth?

Do not rely on wine for kidney stones, it is a myth. Alcohol actually causes dehydration, which can make kidney stones worse. Stick to drinking 3-4 liters of plain water daily to clear them out.

I have had kidney stones twice in my life. Trust me, nothing works better than fresh coconut water, barley water, and plenty of plain water. Wine will only dehydrate your system and increase the pain.

No beta, wine is not good for stones. Drinking lots of water and fresh lemon juice is the best home remedy to flush them out. Take care of your health and don't listen to these modern rumors.

Using wine as a treatment for kidney stones is just a great excuse to party! Honestly, it will only dehydrate you and make the stone passage more painful. Stick to boring old water, your kidneys will thank you.

With my high BP, I have to be very careful with alcohol like wine. Alcohol can increase blood pressure and strain your kidneys. If you have kidney stone pain, go for an ultrasound and consult a urologist instead of self-treating.

I don't think wine helps with stones, and it might even cause dehydration which is bad for kidneys. Since our bodies are sensitive, please get an doctor's opinion before trying any such remedies.
