No interactions: were noted using the Drugs.Com drug interaction checker. But, that doesn't mean that an interaction couldn't occur.

Yes: However, if you are also on methotrexate or some other medication, alcohol needs to be severely limited. Ask your doctor about all your meds and alcohol. There is no specific problem with alcohol and Enbrel (etanercept).
