Protopic and alcohol

I have sebo-psoriasis on my face. I don't much care for it.

Hello, First time posting here, so if this should be elsewhere, my apologies! I have sebo-psoriasis on my face and have recently been prescribed Protopic 0.1%. I've been using it for a few days and it has thus far proved to be pretty effective. It says, and I have read online, that drinking alcohol can cause redness and hot flushes of the face while using it. Does this mean if you drink on the same day as applying it, or if you've used it at any point that week? Basically, I'm thinking that while I'm not a huge drinker, I will be drinking on NYE, so should I stop using Protopic now to avoid this side effect? Or do I just not use it on the day? Is that side-effect even guaranteed? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi, I know I am well over a year late but I was just wondering if you discovered the answer to this question? I am in a similar situation to this. Thanks!
