It's ok to have ONE glass of wine every now and then I'm assuming. My liver levels are awesome and I'm handling it very well. I don't think a single glass of wine could cause damage, do you?
All my doc said was, "I would be very cautious about drinking alcohol with rifampin".
One glass is cautious, right?!

One drink could cause issues, are you on any other meds or treatments that the alcohol could react with?
When a medication specifically says not to mix with alcohol, it means there could be a problem.
When I was pregnant I would have a glass of half glass of cranberry juice and seven up. Wasn't fine wine, but it tasted fun.
Sorry to be a downer, but it is usually listed for a reason.
Is there a special occasion coming up?

Well it's your body , your money for buying meds and paying doctors.
If you want to risk it and maybe prolong treatment and torture of this disease .
Well I would guess it's your call.
I would guess in a roundabout way your doctor is saying no to alcohol , as in being very cautious.
