I've just been prescribed a low dose (10 mg daily) of accutane. I know there's been known issues of alcohol intensifying accutane symptoms but does anyone have any experience/advice on if a few drinks here and there is ok on 10 mg accutane?

How much do you drink? I still haven't dared risk it. I wanted more than one drink, maybe a few!

I asked the Derm yesterday he said it's fine. I mentioned that I had heard storiesof liver failure etc and he just laughed.
