Ask your doctor: Your own physician knows more than we do about your personal history and use of other medications/drugs and/or alcohol. So you should ask him/her about this question to get a personalized answer. Most psychiatrists would suggest not using alcohol at all while being treated with zoloft (sertraline) and other antidepressants.
