A nurse recently told me you shouldn’t drink alcohol with ANY medicine.
Surely that’s bollocks.
What are the disadvantages again???
I have no idea. I know I drank a lot whilst taking antibiotics once and I’m still here so… it’s fine?
If you don’t want to be hammered I guess
Depends if they interact with alcohol, if they do you shouldn’t, if they don’t, well wash them down with a nice cold Stella, friend
II imagine it would weaken the effects
of the alcohol or the antibiotics?
It varies depending on which type of antibiotic you’re taking. Most of the commonly prescribed antibiotics are fine, or fine with moderate drinking. So, check what it says on your bottle of pills and look it up.
antibiotics
Thanks d_m. Just checked- the one im on DOES have serious side effects if combined with alcohol.
Drat.
When they tell you not to take them with alcohol it’s not because it will combat the medicine, it’s because they’re tories and they don’t want to risk you having a bloody good time.
You should always read the label, you should always read it well, in the most delicious way!
There are 2 antibiotics that will make you feel very sick if you drink on them, the name escapes me, they’re sometimes used to stop alcoholics from drinking alcohol. You’re fine on most though
depends dunnit?
definitely wouldn’t on Metronidazole, but you’re probably 6 tins of stella down by now right?
Yep, that’s the one
ugh. they’re horrible too btw - made me feel really ill the week I had to take them for a wisdom tooth thing.
sorry man
Shame as it Sounds like a delicious futuristic mexican sauce
Read the patient information sheet. DO NOT drink on metronidazole - it will screw your liver up.
Yeah it just stops them from working properly, doesnt send you wacky
Definitely not. It produces the same effect as Antabuse - the drug that alcoholics take so they can’t be tempted to drink. Severe vomiting, coma etc
