I accidentally drank a sip of alcohol cocktail that was a bit strong while i'm on sertraline 75mg is that a bad thing?

wouldn't think so: while we discourage any alcohol intake when you are on these drugs (side effects), a small amount is unlikely to trigger any noticeable problem.

One sip of an alcoholic beverage is not likely to cause any significant interactions with sertraline. However, do recommend avoiding alcohol in the future if you are taking an selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. Take care.
