I always enjoyed a glass of wine or a mixed drink in the evenings. I would have one pretty much every night. I enjoyed the few moments of relaxation. I was not on MTX but I was so sick with PMR before being diagnosed that alcohol didnt even taste right. Once I started steroids my life settled but when I would drink I found I felt sick afterwards. I still have an issue 2 years after PMR. So mine is not so much whether I its good for me but seems my body doesnt want to tolerate it. When I have gone out I drink seltzer water and lime. Yeah its to bad we dont know what our check out date is going to be. Make planning a little easier. You might live a very healthy life for another 20yrs. They say an active social life is key to longer life. Enjoy.
