Alcohol: In general will rev up your liver metabolism, thereby reducing efficacy of certain medications, while other times it may increase their toxicity. Use good judgment and moderation always.

Alcohol use: Alcohol is a biologically active substance which interacts with medications directly or indirectly so it is best to avoid using alcohol together with medications. For most medications it should be ok to enjoy a little alcohol 24 hours after the last dose. Avoid driving or using machinery when using alcohol. Limit usage to two small measures a day for men and one for women.
