In one book I read I got the notion that most doctors do say we should be careful with alchohol, and some docs would say no alcohol while on MTX. I also understood that its because of its affect on the liver, which might already have a hard time with the MTX. My liver values have always been really low, and I've allowed myself to have a few beers per month but really cut down on drinking and haven't gotten drunk in ages (although I would love to, so annoying to go to an open bar and not drink anything... sigh...)
From the nutritionist who gave us a lecture at the spa I also gathered that large amounts of alcohol promotes inflammation in the body, so that would also be a bad thing for us vasculties (while a glass of wine could be a good thing).
Maybe you can ask your doc?
