Specializes in Pain Management

Yes you can: There no interaction between Medrol (methylprednisolone) and alcohol. The only restriction is if you are taking medrol, (methylprednisolone) because you have abused your liver with booze. Otherwise, you can enjoy an occasional drink. The key is moderation.
