I think this is a very relevant discussion for most of us
especially seniors with health problems. I was drinking wine
daily after retiring when PMR developed suddenly. I am not ready to adopt the “No amount of alcohol is good for you.”
theory with all the conflicting data on drinking and autoimmunity. The moderation approach is my best effort.
Succeeded at dry January and doing OK on the curious sober philosophy. I have found the new zero alcohol beers
very enjoyable for off days. I can enjoy a ceremoniously crafted old fashioned 3 times a week. We don't metabolize as well as when we were young so keep the cocktails light.
When I read about managing my Psoriatic arthritis all the articles encourage moderation. Just do what you can to manage side effect of steroids on your blood pressure and
metabolism and there is no set rule on drinking while on
prednisone.
