A member asked:
If i took azithromycin (4 pills at the one time) would i be able to drink alcohol the next day?

Yes: Although both may be handled by the liver, unless you have serious underlying liver disease this is not likely to bother you. You may get some increase in azithro side-effects with alcohol. This drug stays in your body for some time, but these are seldom particularly bothersome. Why don't you be safe and wait a few days. If you cannot, you may have an abuse issue.
