A member asked:
Can u drink alcohol in moderation while on low dose chemotherapy pills as well as prednisone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ye and no: There is no absolute contraindication to some modest alcohol use, yet it is not advisable to drink alcohol if you have cancer being treated with chemotherapy unless you absolutely have to do it. So moderation is the best advice. But if i were you, i would not use alcohol with chemotherapy as it impairs the immune system which you need in order to fight your cancer.
