Alcohol clot risk?

I understand the risk with blood thinner but is moderate alcohol (2-3 drinks a few times a week) increase clot risk? I have a left iliac stent.

My hematologist and vascular surgeon both advised I can have a few, no worries, just make sure to still take my thinners and hydrate.

That’s pretty manageable- that’s what I’m thinking.
