Can i drink alcohol while taking uti antibiotics? will it kill me if i do?

Not a good idea: Consuming alcohol whilst taking antibiotics will not kill you, but alcohol can neutralize the antibiotics thus making them less effective. Also alcohol can irritate bladder lining & thus interfere with the healing process
