A member asked:
I have only had maybe 2 sips of a beer and i'm realizing my allergies are out of control. can i take benadryl (diphenhydramine)? or should i wait even after just 2 sips

Use Caution: 2 sips of beer is probably not a problem, but it is never a good idea to mix alcohol with sedating medicines like Benadryl (diphenhydramine). It would be better to use a long acting, low sedating antihistamine instead. These includ Zyrtec, Allegra, and Claratin.
