I'm with Don. My side effects with mtx have been minimal. I take folic acid and have no hair loss issues. I get a little tired the day after I take mtx, but splitting the dose in half twelve hours apart has reduced that. I can still do normal activities, but I have to push myself a little more.
As for alcohol, I've found some non-alcoholic beers that are pretty good including Clausthaler, Kaliber, Buckler, Beck's, and St.Pauli Girl. Non-alcoholic wine is just grape juice, so no satisfaction there. I'll have 1-2 glasses of wine per month or six weeks with no resulting problems.
