A member asked:
How long after taking cortizone (hydrocortisone) can i drink alcohol?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Steroids + alcohol: It would be best to avoid the two together since the alcohol can affect the stomach lining, as can the oral steroids. Best to wait at least 5 days for the half life of the steroid to be eliminated from the body to resume drinking alcohol.
