A member asked:

Had some drimks can i take benadryl (diphenhydramine)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

What is the question: Are you asking if you can drink while taking benadryl (diphenhydramine).You have to be careful as it will cause increased drowsiness and ataxia.If you drink excessive it can be dangerous.But i will definitely recommend avoid if you can and never drive if you mix these two.
