No.: No alcohol while on these drugs, esp Amox-Clav. See http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/consumer-health/expert-answers/antibiotics-and-alcohol/faq-20057946 Your body needs to concentrate on metabolizing those antibiotics and fighting off disease, not wasting energy coping with alcohol and its effects, You are pretty sick to need two strong antibiotics, Have some fresh fruit juice!
