I found this online:- "Ethanol is present in some metered dose inhalers. The quantity of ethanol released per actuation is very small (less than 10 mg), and is less than the ethanol content in a ripe banana (40 mg). The amount of ethanol is too low to have a pharmacological effect."
Since you HAVE to take your inhaler for your other condition then you have to and it shouldn't be an issue.

Good question. I also have alcohol related liver disease and use an inhaler for COPD but I wouldn't even have thought of whether or not it had ethanol in it. I'm on two blasts morning and night and then the reliever one as and when I need it.x
