A member asked:
I sampled a little bit of alcohol a few hours ago, is it safe to take some benadryl (diphenhydramine)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably OK: If you have had less than 2 drinks, it is probably ok to take a Benadryl (diphenhydramine) knowing that it may make you more drowsy. I certainly would not advise driving your car home however until you know for sure how much the combination may affect your mental alertness.
