Be careful: Alcohol and ssri's do not go together well. Besides getting drunker faster, and becoming sedated, you could compromise the effect of your prozac (fluoxetine).

No: Although manufacturers recommend stopping alcohol consumption with any antidepressant medication, two beers consumed along with fluoxetine carries very little risk.
