With acute pancreatitis, even if it was not caused by alcohol, you should avoid drinking alcohol completely for at least six months to give the pancreas time to recover. After that, it’s best not to drink alcohol, but if you choose to return to drinking, be aware that it is important to remain within the low risk drinking guidelines .
How does alcohol affect pancreatitis? Alcohol can affect the pancreas by causing small passageways in the pancreas to become clogged, leading to a pancreatitis. The affect of alcohol can bring about both acute and chronic pancreatitis.
It’s believed that chronic pancreatitis (CP) is caused mainly due to excessive drinking, but a new study has found that the inflammation of the pancreas is not always alcohol-induced.

“The majority of cases of acute pancreatitis in the United States are caused by gallstones and alcohol,” said Goodman. Some research suggests that people can develop acute pancreatitis after a single bout of binge drinking — with an attack occurring 12 to 48 hours after they stop drinking.
In severe cases where complications develop, there's a high risk of the condition being fatal. In England, just over 1,000 people die from acute pancreatitis every year. If a person survives the effects of severe acute pancreatitis, it's likely to be several weeks or months before they're well enough to leave hospital.
If other causes of acute pancreatitis have been addressed and resolved (such as via gallbladder removal) and the pancreas returned to normal, you should be able to lead a normal life, but alcohol should still be taken only in moderation (maximum of 1 serving/day).
