A member asked:
What will happen if you take some wine for example while you are taking antibiotic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nothing will happen: Contrary to popular beliefs, almost no antibiotics interact with alcohol. Heavy alcohol use impairs the immune system's ability to fight infection, but alcohol in moderation makes no difference. Just don't overdo it.
