A member asked:

Is 1 beer considered alcohol ? is drinking 1 beer (4% or 5%) , with zoloft & strattera (atomoxetine) & fish oil bad? does 1 beer only affect my meds effectivity ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

1 beer is alcohol: There are non-alcoholic beers but if your question is whether a beer containing alcohol is considered an alcoholic beverage then, the answer is yes. It is generally a rule of pharmacology that alcohol and medication should not be combined in the same body. The presence of alcohol can alter the way drugs are metabolized meaning they either make drugs less effective or more dangerous.
