While some of us do drink moderately sometimes.... with PN that is a toss up. Alcohol can be a serious trigger.

In your case with your medications it is absolutely not safe to do so!

Drinking makes anyone feel better...so yes, your PN will feel better, and when the alcohol wears off you may be worse than before. Alcohol depletes thiamine in the body, and when that gets low, PN gets worse.

All of your meds should have DO NOT DRINK stickers on them.
