Alcohol can be safe: Alcohol in moderation (up to 4 drinks/24 hours and up to 14 drinks in a week for men) can be safe, even in patients with hiv. Alcohol can increase the toxicity related to some of the medications that fight hiv, and excessive use can harmful, so make sure you discuss this with your doctor.
