CreakyJoints

If you have arthritis, drinking alcohol can impact on your joints and overall health, particularly if you take certain arthritis medications. The best way to know if drinking alcohol, and how much, is safe for you, is by speaking with your treating doctor. 

This article from CreakyJoints discusses the ways alcohol can affect arthritis management, and how it can interact with medications. Read the article at https://creakyjoints.org.au/living-with-arthritis/alcohol-and-arthritis/
