I finished my 5 day pack of azithromycin 2 days ago am i aloud to drink beer?

Better wait: Azithromycin has a long half life and a five day course is in your system for around ten days. So probably better to wait three more days. Alcohol and Azithromycin have not been conclusively shown to interact but why risk it?
