If you have pancreatitis, even just one or two attacks it is very wise

to abstain from all alcohol.

Alcohol is the number 2 cause of pancreatitis and can kill you if you

take enuff of it. That you had an episode after a party where you had

alcohol, it would seem wise to abstain completely. Another serious

acute attack will kill 1/7 of what pancreas you have left. It may also

lead you to chronic pancreatitis and I can tell you, it is not a nice

place to be if you enjoy working and freedom to eat and leave the

house, some of us have lost that already!

Have a nice day!
