If you have pancreatitis in any form drinking needs to stop. It can easily reoccur. Here is a short blip
for you...
As pancreatitis progresses, continuing to use alcohol greatly increases the risk of complications and death — people who don't stop drinking have a death rate three times higher than people who abstain from alcohol have.
So once you have it. Especially if the cause is alcohol abuse, you need to stop drinking. If not
from heavy use of alcohol it doesn't really matter.
The results are the same.

well, if you want me to be honest, i dont think you should drink anymore, for your health. but you can do whatever you want though. sorry i couldnt help more. good luck

"Abstaining from alcohol may prohibit recurrent acute pancreatitis and reduce pain in chronic pancreatitis. Therefore, all the attempts to decrease alcohol consumption after acute pancreatitis and even after the diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis should be encouraged."
Meaning, if you have pancreatitis now and again, drinking alcohol MAY make it reoccur. If you have chronic, it may cause you pain and misery.

Best person to ask this is your doctor. Only they know your personal condition to tell you if drinking is OK or not.
