Methotrexate and alcohol?

Has anyone been told anything different about drinking an occasional glass of wine or a beer while on MTX?
My MD says only 2 glasses a month! Not that I am an alcoholic but I do like a glass of wine with dinner every now and then and I hate to feel like I am damaging my liver if I do! Interestingly, on the information that came with my Rx it does not say not to drink at all or even to "avoid alcohol" while taking?? It does say "this medicine is not recommended to treat RA if you have alcoholism, liver problems caused by alcohol or chronic liver problems..." (not of which I have) So I wonder is my physician being overly cautious or what?
Do I need to completely abstain? That's sure not much fun!!

I'm on Enbrel and MTX and I have the occasional drink, mainly a beer, sometimes two, but it is generally a few days after my dose of both meds. I've never noticed any major issue, but then again I don't do this on a regular basis.

Grammyjan-

I was always perplexed as to why the MTX bottle did not have an alcohol warning as well! My social circle enjoys having cocktails when we get together and I felt left out. Also not an alcoholic- but having cocktails were a part of my life and now I was told it was practically forbidden! My dr. said 1 drink per month. SERIOUSLY?
I don't understand why MTX has such rigid no alcohol warnings all over the place because if you look up other RA drugs they say the same thing but you never hear anyone saying their dr. said not to drink while on them.
I asked my pharmacist why there wasn't a warning on the bottle and he said the drug company dictates which warnings get put on and that's not one of them ??????????????? If it is so dangerous don't you think the drug company would want to cover their asses with the warning? A damaged liver is a very serious problem.
So I decided to drink whenever I wanted. Always felt great guilt and worry. This went on for several years I want to say until one day my liver enzymes came back slightly elevated. I was honest with the dr. about the fact that I had been drinking a few cocktails every weekend and he was furious. I don't think he even said good bye at the end of the appt. He took me off MTX and we re tested in 2 weeks. I continued to have my drinks to see if it was the MTX or the alcohol. They went down a little. 2 weeks later they were normal. Dr. said it was the MTX. We were happy to see that my mild RA symptoms did not get any worse off the MTX. He said stay off and we will watch and see. It's been since Dec. 2011 and I love being off MTX. Right now my joints are bothering me a little more than normal but I had those fluctuations on MTX as well. Sometimes I worry I'm doing hidden damage not being medicated but it was my drs. advice. I thought if you had RA you were on DMARDS for life. Mentally I have felt much better not being on medication. I no longer feel like I am "sick" On meds I thought about RA every day. Many times a day.
Of course not everyone can just go off their meds and I can't recommend it. I also can't recommend that you drink what you want while on MTX. All I can do is say I understand how you feel and share in your frustration of not knowing why the drs. say no alcohol while on MTX. One thought I had was maybe MTX got that rap while it is used for a cancer drug which has a much higher dosage and it got lumped in when used as an RA drug as well.
