A member asked:
Im starting a course of antibiotics tomorrow, is it fine to drink tonight or will it make it worse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's OK: Alcohol interacts with a few antibiotics such as Flagyl but can be taken while on most antibiotics if so desired. The alcohol should only be drunk in moderation and if you have a significant infection you should abstain until the infection is better.
