I'm on my first month of 20mg of accutane and i stopped drinking completely when i started accutane just to play it safe with my liver. Last night was the first night i went out to drink and I had 2 drinks along with 5 shots of tequila. i didn't feel any different when i drank and i didn't black out or get sick. I woke up today feeling completely ok without a hangover or any queasiness.

Should i be worried for my liver if i feel ok today?

I was on roaccutane nearly three years ago and the only thing I regret doing in that time is drinking alcohol! I didn't drink much, maybe two or three drinks very occasionally, but the longer I was on roaccutane the worse I felt if I'd had a drink. Like I would throw up all night just after a few! The worst part was that even up to a year after I'd stopped taking the drug I still felt TERRIBLE every time I had a drink... as the drug takes a while to be completely out of your system. Obviously everyone's bodies reacts differently but this was my experience! It can be difficult to avoid drinking at times though especially if that's what a lot of your social life tends to revolve around but trust me it will be so worth it!

As for your liver, roaccutane already puts stain on it so alcohol is not gunna make the situation any better !
