Don’t be afraid, you’ll be ok. In general, a small amount of alcohol presents no threat to anyone on that medication.

A big sip/gulp of beer is not going to do any harm. However you should avoid alcohol. Alcohol is a poison that never did anybody any good, ever, so stay away from it. It will destroy your brain cells, damage testicular cells that make testosterone, facilitate development of cancer in many organs, cause hepatitis, cirrhosis and pancreatitis etc. There is no safe level of alcohol intake.
