A bad diet in general is cause for a flare-up. Alcohol is on the list of no-nos for Crohnies, so I would refrain.
Having put up with 18 years of Crohn's I have not found that alcohol worsens [ in moderation] matters. Obviously, this a personal view and there may well be those who have a different experience. Without the odd drink and the maintenance of a sense of humour life would not be worth living!

∙ 10y agoBased on my experiences, Crohn's and alcohol do not mix for me; it caused major stomach pain and headaches. In addition, while on certain medications, alcohol intake is not recommended, such as Remicade, and mercaptopurine (6-MP)

∙ 14y agoNo. There is no known correlation between crohn's disease and Alcoholism as diseases.
A person with Crohns would certainly need to stop drinking for extended periods during a flare up of the disease. Alcohol exacerbates the symptoms of crohns and due to the irritation already present in the bowel would greatly increase the pain and cramping.

The fertility rates for women with Crohns disease are not much different from those without Crohns. Women with Crohn's disease should also be aware that pregnancy often results in normal gestation and that children are not more likely to have the disease just because mom has it. If a woman with Crohns is in remission at the time of conception, she has no greater risk for a disease flare than a woman who is not pregnant. A woman with active disease at the time of conception has a one-third chance of going into remission, a one-third chance of staying at the same disease activity level, and a one-third chance of getting worse during pregnancy. There is no evidence to suggest that inactive Crohn's disease has any effect on either female or male fertility, or on a woman's ability to carry a pregnancy to term and have a vaginal delivery.
