Hi there!
I have one thing to add, my derm never said to avoid alcohol, and when I asked him specifically about it, he said it was fine to drink. He didn't even caution me on the amount.
However I'm a lightweight and only have one glass of wine and only occasionally. I guess it's because of the strain you are already putting on your liver with the methotrexate, you don't want to give it more to deal with. But I think the best person to listen to on that is the one prescribing it to you.
I was ok on methotrexate, it worked very well for over a year. In the end it just stopped working for me.
