Alcohol and metronid: I believe it is ok to take your medication after drinking last night hoever do not drink while you are under treatment.

Hmmmm: Did you take it yesterday and then drink? If so, and you had no adverse reaction, then you probably can take it today. There is a risk if you DO take it (vomiting) and there is a risk if you DON'T take it (worsening infection). Hence the warning about drinking on this drug!
