ok to have a drink?
I finished treatment nearly 4 months ago and am going to a large birthday celebration,is it ok to have a glass of wine or liquor until I get my results of nrxt blood test in July to see if I will be SVR?
Could you please provide documentation that supports a glass of wine or 1 mixed drink will trigger relapse 4 months post tx.
The interferon is no longer in the body and the ribivirin levels are almost gone so by 4 months post so I would like to know what you are basing "potentially trigger a relapse" on.

Hell - I'd be so grateful if I clear this virus, I don't think the first thing on my mind will be having a drink. I think if I attain svr, I will be high as a kite from relief. It's not that I think about hep c all the time, but it always somewhere lurking in your psyche. I just think about living a healthy life and having my liver regenerate from treating myself well. I don't know if you have any liver damage or not, so of course that plays a big part in your decision. I would certainly take the advice of not drinking until you are sure you are svr though.
Very best to you, and I hope you remain SVR!

Can you please provide documentation showing it is okay to drink when someone has Hepatitis C or is in the delecate recovering period after treatment.

I asked you first and I will provide an opposing viewpoint as well as documention if you can back up what you stated.
I was told by the trial nurse at Cedars LA, that according to their hepatology chief, having a glass of wine or a beer here and there after completing tx would not hurt me in any way. I did SVR. I am a real lightweight and drink very little, but I live in wine country and enjoy going wine tasting and have been doing that. (BTW--Going into tx my liver was F1.)
