A member asked:

Can you drink alcohol 24 hours taking mucinex (guaifenesin) dm? took it for 2 days.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes don't overdo it: You may have alcohol - however, alcohol in excess is not good for you and in the long run may have deleterious effects on many organ systems in your body. Take care and don't overdo it - and don't drink on an empty stomach.
