A member asked:
Been drinking beer & having an allergic reaction, is benadryl (diphenhydramine) safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, if not too much: Benadryl (diphenhydramine) can cause drowsiness, which would be potentiated by alcohol. It would likely be safe after 1 beer, but would be problematic after more. I definitely would not drive after the combination.
