Does Humira effect alcohol tolerance ?

[callum]

Hi people,,I've got an interesting/weird question about humira.
While on the injections I feel like I get drunk very easily, like, I had 1 pint and 2 cans last night and I was wasted. But last week before I took my injections I could drink much more without even feeling tipsy.
So my question, can humira make it so that you get drunk quicker/with less alcohol ?

Hi Callum,

One night i went out with friends after my injection and after about 4 drinks I smashed my drink glass was literally falling over. That never happens other times I drink without having the injection the same day. So personally I think yes.

Hope this helps?

There is nothing on the FDA documentation about alcohol:

That could be incomplete, though. Did you get a good "base" of food before you started drinking? I could be that after administration, you don't have a very good appitite and you drink on an empty stomach?

Another theory is that your liver enzymes are elevated. I'm not sure if elevated liver enzymes would clear alcohol slower or not...that would be an exercise for the reader

I haven't experienced any changes in alcohol tolerance while on Humira, no. I would be surprised if it affected it.

Hmm, interesting stuff, there is always the possibility that i had been drinking on an empty stomach, which would make sense, but i was sure i had eaten a relatively large dinner. anyway, thanks for the replies, think i'll just not drink too soon after injecting
