A member asked:
Why should you quit drinking alcohol when you have pancreatitis ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pancreatitis: Since alcohol is the likely cause of pancreatitis it only makes sense to not drink it when you have pancreatitis. And for that matter in my opinion once you have pancreatitis you should never drink alcohol again as even a small drink can cause it again.
