3 Foods To Avoid or Ask About While Taking Letrozole or Anastrozole Read Article...

When 'they' say its better not to consume alcohol while taking these drugs they are really talking about not doing it everyday. I don't think having a drink is going to make side effects worse or destroy your liver. Its different if someone has 2 or more drinks everyday or even a few times a week. If I drank I think I would treat myself to a glass of red wine once a week without fear or guilt.

In moderation. I would not be having a glass of wine everyday but socially is fine.

I am not a drinker at all but if I think one drink on any medication can't be that harmful. I mean one drink, what harm could it do ? ❤️ Some will say no alcohol at all but this is just my opinion.

Lots of meds react strongly to alcohol. The medicine that I take for my acid reflux doubles the effect of alcohol on me. I don't drink regularly but will have a glass of wine 2-3 times a year on special occasions. But 1 glass is all that I can handle. Two and I'm tipsy. To be honest, alcohol isn't that important to me that I couldn't give it up for health reasons.

I tested with a small amount of white wine….within 30 minutes it was as if I’d had several glasses of the stuff. Had I not been at home driving safely would have been iffy….
