It is recommended to stop alcohol consumption when diagnosed with Crohn's disease.

Never if you are taking metronidazole (fagyul) Otherwise very sparingly if you are the legal age to consume alcohol in your state.

Mild ingestion should not affect Crohn's, provided there are no other contraindications to alcohol ingestion (liver disease,...).
Also avoid NSAIDs (ibuprofen, naproxen, adult-dose aspirin, similar meds).

Yes, in general alcohol does not appear to be a issue with Crohns disease. Of course alcohol consumption should be in moderation.
