In general, alcohol is not recommended for rheumatoid arthritis, and drinking may aggravate the condition. Rheumatoid arthritis is a delayed, non-purulent sequela caused by throat infection with group A hemolytic streptococcus, which is related to autoimmunity and often manifests itself as arthritis, chorea, myocarditis, and subcutaneous nodules. Because the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis requires the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen, the drug has a certain damage to the gastric mucosal barrier, and the consumption of alcohol during the treatment period will exacerbate the destruction of the gastric mucosal barrier, which may lead to peptic ulcers or even gastrointestinal bleeding. In addition, the toxic effect of alcohol consumption on the heart can also aggravate rheumatic myocarditis. Therefore, drinking alcohol is not recommended for rheumatoid arthritis patients. Rheumatoid arthritis patients are advised to go to the rheumatology and immunology departments of regular hospitals for detailed consultation and to follow the doctor’s instructions for a reasonable diet.
