A member asked:
6 shots of alcohol mixed drinks been about 6 hours since last drink is it safe to take a benadryl?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Better choices: Benadryl is sedating and adding that to alcohol magnifies the effect. The average rate of alcohol metabolism is 1 drink per hour, but many things effect that ( male/ female, weight, race, food eaten with it) taking it to sleep is probably ok but for allergies a non sedating antihistamine like Claritin is a better choice. Avoid it altogether if you are driving. Be safe.
