Does wine or alcohol cause arthritis pain to increase?

Just wondering. Going to a party this weekend for Halloween. Thanks!

Interesting question. I've never noticed any change. But I'm not a big drinker, never really have been. I've had to be a touch more careful the last few years due to meds. Be safe, and enjoy your party!

I have not noticed that it does. i have increased pain at dinner when I have wine as I do not take my vicodin as I am afraid to mix the two!

Beer on Whiskey might be Risky, Whisky on Beer have no fear.

Red wine should be GOOD for you as its an antrioxident...... (But then I've spen 50+ years trying to convince first my mother then my wife chocolate is a vegetable because its made from "beans"

Have a good time, just remember if you have too good a time you will feel like crap the next day anyway. But know thee is no known connection that I know of, but then if you have been around theses boards a while you know I wouldn't look for it anyway.
