I was diagnosed with PMR/GCA July 2024. Began 60 mg. of Prednisone. I quit drinking completely, until I got to around 15 mg. Since then, I have an occasional glass of wine, beer, or old fashioned. I was never a big drinker, but I seem to have lost my appetite for alcohol. I might have 2-3 drinks/month.
I was always a big foodie, too. Loved to cook and eat 'interesting' things. I've lost my appetite and can't eat like I used to. I've tapered to 3 mg. of Prednisone and get monthly Actemra infusions.

I have PMR and GCA. I started at 60 mg of prednisone. I stopped drinking any alcohol until I got down to 20 mg. Since then I have had about 3 drinks a week, either wine or beer. I haven't had any issues. I stopped taking prednisone about 2 weeks ago.
