I have Crohn's disease and one of the Drugs I am on, Methotrexate, says do not take with alcohol. And after doing some research I have found out that it can cause serious complications to the liver. However, I am on a low dose of only 10mg per week. Some forums stated that moderate drinking is ok also. I am heading up to a party tomorrow, and just wanted to know if I'll be safe if I drink. I do not know whether these sites are just trying to be safe by covering all the bases, or if I'll need a new liver after tomorrow. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am also on a low dose of methotrexate, 10 mg, for pustular psoriasis. I like to have some wine on weekends or a beer now and again. Did you ever get any responses to your question? I'm very curious about the effects on my liver.
