Not good.: You are on the antibiotics for a reason and alcohol is likely to make them less effective or give added side effects.

Depends: Some combinatinos of antibiotics and alcohol cn cause what is called an "antabuse effect". This means while taking the antibiotic, alcohol can cause nausea and vomiting. Usually related to an antibiotic used to treat specific std infections.
