A member asked:
I'm on accutane acne medication (20mg/day) and i've been wondering that can i drink alcohol with it? if so, how much? can it be dangerous, how?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No alcohol: I would advise you to not drink alcohol on Accutane because it will cause significant nausea and vomiting and also overall reduce the effect of accutane.

I know it is well documented that drinking alcohol when on accutane isn't a great idea. One derm said recreational party drugs, whilst a bad idea in general for your health, are probably not much extra worse when on roaccutane? true?
