Duodenal Peptic Ulcers?

I've been diagnosed with duodenal peptic ulcer caused by H. Plylori about 4 months ago and went to the hospital b/c the ulcer was bleeding, I used to drink somewhat heavily on the weekends (4-6 drinks Friday and Saturday night) and since I've been diangosed, I've laid off alcohol completely (not even a drop), and I've been taking anti acids like nexium, Proilosec OTC somewhat regularly. I want to start drinking a little bit again (1 to 3 drinks in a month) but I don't know if that will make my ulcer come back again. I've read many many articles online some stating that alchol can't cause ulcers and many stating the opposite. I'm just really confused. Any professional opinions would help me.

To be safe, ask your doctor. There is a condition called alcohol related gastritis.
