Alcohol on Imuran?

Hi, I just recently graduated from college a few months ago, and when me and my friends from college get back together we like to do all the stuff we did in college (drinking). I've been on Imuran since August and I've gotten pretty drunk twice since then, both times I had no issues... until the next day. The next day I was very nauseous both times and I believe I ended up throwing up on both of those days. I'm going out for a friend's birthday tomorrow night and I'd like to avoid the same things happening again. Now I'm not sure if this is the Imuran that is causing this, but I never had any issues with drinking while I was on Humira. Also I don't seem to have any issues when I only drink a little bit. I have no problem doing this, but I was just wondering if anyone who has been on Imuran has any insight on any of this?

I'd like to be able to enjoy the night with my friends without worrying about being nauseous the entire next day. Any experience or insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I asked my GI doc about alcohol while on Imuran and he said "there are no restrictions with alcohol" I also looked online and found nothing limiting alcohol use while taking Imuran.
A bit confused about this issue.

Moderate occasional drinking usually doesn't produce any harmful affects of mixing alcohol and Imuran/6mp. It's the binge drinking you have to be careful of.

I've been getting regular bloodwork done and my liver enzymes are fine while my Vitamin D is slightly low. Gonna give it a go tonight and see how I'm feeling tomorrow. Thanks for the feedback everybody, I appreciate it.

Would "cleaner" spirits pose less of a problem? For example, mixed drinks that use Vodka or Gin versus drinking beer and wine?

I know how youre feeling mate havent drank in over a month. A b-day is coming up in a few weeks if Im a bit more recovered ill be having a few drinks. Cleaner spirits would pose less of a problem. They seem to have less effects on the liver. I have no medical backing on that except from Russian doctors. Vodka only! And not the cheap stuff as its riddled with weird and improper chemicals.

Im not saying you can go all out, drinking too heavily causes nausea and throwing up Imuran or not! :). With our UC getting really drunk is never a good idea. Im also a fan of the double stress on the liver theory from Imuran and alcohol. We should be only having minor drinks and when not on flares. Everyone us different though.

It is not easy to explain why you arent drinking at a party to new people or unclose ones. The easy way out? Use the I'm on antibiotics and I cant drink excuse :p.

It says not to drink alcohol on my 6mp bottle. I drink but usually just a glass of wine or a cocktail.

Mad potter, does your friend know that Grey Goose is made out of wheat?

Grey Goose is distilled from wheat and Smirnoff from corn - Ciroc from grapes. You might want to let your friend know.

Vodka does not contain gluten unless added after distillation.

An update for anyone wondering, everything went fine. Drank mostly Vodka and Rum, but I did have a beer or two at one point. I didn't feel too poorly the next day at all and especially not like the two times right after I started the Imuran.

Use your common sense with your new found relief....please!
