alcohol and lupus

Hello I am Kalief and have had lupus for about 6 years now and my doctor has never had a problem with me drinking. But once and that was because my liver test was very low and he wanted to know if it was my lupus. So I had to go one month and a half without drinking. Then after that he increased my meds and that part of me now is good for now. I hope this helps.
