No: Alcohol alters the metabolism of many drugs. It is best to abstain from alcohol while on these drugs.

Not recommended: You should not drink alcohol with either of these medications. Discuss with your physician to be clear, but i would recommend not drinking and significant amount of alcohol after recently taking both of these meds together, especially if you have not alcohol with them before.

No: Both of those medications effect your central nervous system (brain). Alcohol obviously alters your brain function too. The three will interact and will not do well for you.
