Those aren’t warfarin any more. They are a MUCH longer acting derivative.

ditching bottles of water and no water provided on the planes

The rules have changed. You will still have to dump any OUTSIDE food or drink when going through security. However, once you're through, you can purchase any food or drink within the secure area and bring it on board with you. I was flying once, and had finished half my burger at TGI Friday's. I took the rest in a doggie bag, and brought it on my flight, along with a bottle of water I'd bought at a newsstand. Not a problem. Most airlines still provide complimentary soda, coffee and tea, but as always, you will pay for alcoholic beverages.

“A Danish study of 9,253 adults found that in people who did not smoke, were not overweight and were younger than 40, the 10-year risk of clots and emboli was 1 percent in those with one mutated gene and 3 percent in those with two damaged genes. But the risk increased to 10 percent in people with one mutated gene and 51 percent in those with two abnormal genes if they smoked, were overweight and were older than 60.”

So, don’t smoke, lose weight and don’t pass 60.
