A member asked:
Will i be able to drink alcohol on phenoxymethyl penicillin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, in moderation: Contrary to popular beliefs, almost no antibiotics interact with alcohol and certainly there is no problem with oral penicillins like Pen VK (phenoxymethyl penicillin). Heavy alcohol impairs the immune system's ability to fight infection, but alcohol in moderation makes no difference.
