A member asked:
When after taking my last dose of metronidazole can i drink alcohol?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
72 hours: My usual answer to that is 72 hours, just to be totally sure that the drug has cleared completely out of your system. I'd rather be safe than sorry with that one, knowing how sick it makes people!
