Can you drink alcohol with rheumatoid arthritis?

The process of rheumatoid arthritis will produce a large number of inflammatory mediators in the body, and drinking alcohol may lead to an increase in inflammatory mediators in the body, which may aggravate the condition. Most of the anti-rheumatic drugs have adverse reactions such as stimulation of gastric mucosa and liver function damage, and if you drink alcohol at the same time, it may lead to gastric ulcers or even cause gastric hemorrhage, which may aggravate the damage of liver function, so it is better for patients with rheumatoid arthritis not to drink alcohol. To summarize, rheumatoid arthritis patients try to avoid drinking alcohol. Once diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, it is recommended that patients go to the hospital on a regular basis, under the guidance of the doctor to standardize the diagnosis and treatment, and specific life precautions can be consulted with the doctor.
