Yes: Brother....Alcohol interacts badly..
With every thing..

And Accutane in itself, is suspected of bringing self destructive tendencies. Mix it with alcohol....
Be sensible....Alcohol and medicines don't mix.

Absolutely not: Most people who start up on Accutane pledge not to take alcohol during the course of their treatment, for the sake of your liver and overall health. This is a remarkable medicine that's going to give you a new life without the liability of severe acne. Start it off right by keeping your promise and protecting your health.
