Not significantly: The half-life of 5-HTP is 2.2-7.4 hours (people metabolize it at different rates, but about 12 hours after taking it between about 1-25% of it will still be in your bloodstream, depending on your metabolism. But some is converted to serotonin and that stays in your body awhile to. But most people will feel no effects within 8 hours of taking it. Alcohol will not interact hours after taking it.
