Can you drink alcohol on sertraline?
12 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Not a good idea: Serotonin reuptake inhibitors like sertraline magnify the effects of alcohol. One drink is like taking two drinks. It is best to not use alcohol while on this medication. If you do drink it is best to limit it to one drink only. One drink is considered one 12 oz beer, one 4 oz glass of wine or one 1.5 oz of hard liquor.

No: Alcohol interact with sertraline and should be avoided when you are on any psychiatric medications.

Please Don't: Zoloft (sertraline) + alcohol can = impaired cognition/ judgment, dizziness & sedation.
