You are wise to ask: Zoloft/sertraline together with ethanol may increase side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, difficulty concentrating. Maintain Zoloft dose and limit use of alcohol. Take precautions, avoid activities requiring mental alertness such as driving or operating hazardous machinery until you learn how the combo affects you. Check with prescriber if problems occur. Best regards for health.
