The Complicated Relationship Between Alcohol Consumption and Rheumatoid Arthritis

Even if your doctor gives you the go ahead, you want to be sure that you aren't consuming too much alcohol. As laid out in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, published by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, women should consume no more than one drink per day (for men it is usually no more than 2 per day). This can differ depending on your weight and circumstances though, so talk to your doctor about their recommended limit.
