as far as i know there is no relationship between glaucoma and alcohol consumption. glaucoma is a disease that affects the pressure inside the eyeball. even though no one in your family has had glaucoma it doesn't mean you can't get it. not all diseases are passed through families genetically. that said excessive alcohol consumption is very bad for you in many other ways. it eventually will kill your liver and it can contribute to the development of diabetes. if you have a problem with drinking talk to your doctor. he or she can help you get treatment. wishing you well!
can excessive drinking cause signs of glaucome? . i don't have diabetes high blood pressure or anything else that requires prescriptions. i am 51 and i don't think there is a history of this condition in my family.
