    I have received different advice. I drink one glass of red wine a day. It's part of my life routine. Before I started on methotrexate I asked the rheumatologist if I could continue. He said as long as I don't have more than one glass a day I should be fine. He's got 30 years of experience under his belt.

    Separately, I found details on methotrexate that say that rheumatologistn widely agree that 10 units a week is safe with methotrexate.

    i feel fine and have no adverse reactions having my daily glass. Nothing showing up in the blood tests yet either.
