How Does Alcohol Consumption Affect Psoriasis Patient?
Hi.

I have been sober for 4 months now but the New Year is coming and i would really like to particitae and obviously party little with my friend. Is it really bad ti drink that night? Just would like to do that on new year. What do think about it or maybe just quit taking them for a week and then continiue after? I dont know.

Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic,
Alcohol worsens Psoriasis. Moreover you are on Acitretin which causes burden to your liver for excretion. That is why liver function tests are monitored when you are on Acitretin. Alcohol will add the burden to liver. I would not recommend you to take alcohol. Why should you spoil the psoriasis control just or 1 day of drinking? Even Teetotalers party and enjoy New year.
Wish you good health and take care.
