Alcohol and methotrexate
Re: Alcohol and methotrexate
I believe the reason is that methotrexate can cause liver damage and even (in extreme cases) liver failure so adding alcohol to the mix is a bad idea as it could heighten that risk.

Re: Alcohol and methotrexate
It is advised that you should refrain from drinking alcohol until hCG has fallen to a non-pregnant level and not drink alcohol for a few weeks after that. It is due to the methotrexate's affect on the liver and adding in alcohol could cause damage to your liver.
