Not advisable: It is not advisable to drink alcohol with prescription medications. Combining alcohol and prozac (fluoxetine) (fluxoetine) can increase nervous system side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. Some people may also experience impairment in thinking and judgment.
