I wouldn't ... cuz I did once. It was actually one day after my last dose, but it still had a weird affect on my head. I had 2 beers & 1 glass of wine ... the most wicked hangover I've had in a long time the next morning & I remember everything that happened that night, but I don't remember much about the conversations that were held. (Nothing bad happened, by the way)

But, that doesn't mean that would happen to you ... everyone's phisiology is different, and what happened to me won't necessarily happen to you. However, it is still best to read the label &/or call your pharmacist.

definately not could kill

No. It interferes with the metabolism of the antibiotices - it's like not taking them at all.

Alchohol will destroy the Antibiotics....have one or two drinks, have a happy birthday and then be good after that.

You can, the antibiotics just won't work because of the effects of the alcohol. You wont die or anything.

Depends on the antibiotic. Read the information sheet that came with them to see if it is one of the ones that is negated by alcohol. If you don't have the info sheet you can get a new one from your pharmacist or even at webmd.com.

Check with your Doctor or Pharmacist for sure. However, most of today's antibiotics are NOT effected by alcohol.

.

best to call the pharmacy and double check because depending on the medicine ....some can be very dangerous to mix with alcohol .....some can lead to mild effects and others can be deadly....

NONONONONONO! Taking antibiotics alone is a bad idea can cause all kinds of problems,and alcohol on top of that will only reduce the effects of the meds. Find natural health products for your skin,tea tree oil.

noo way!
drinkin alot of alcohol by itself causes enough problems..when you mix it with other things like drugs it could do some serious damage! even death could occur

no or i should say hell no as u already know alcohol intensifies the affects of medications and antibiotics release more dixtracol which is a chemical that kills bacteria or in your case it will kill any cell in its way if intensified

No it will make you very sick and the antibiotics wont work if u drink while on them

no

Alcohol kills the effect of several antibiotics, so you shouldn't if you are on one of them. Ask your pharmacist about it. They know exactly what you are taking.

No way. Alcohol will really make the antibiotics ineffective.
Happy birthday!:-)

YES! It's just that the problem is alcohol will dehydrate the body and that means poor absorption of the antis. If you must drink, stick to one night and match each one with water!

i drank alcohol while on anitbiotics and i was fine! ( not sure wat it does to the medicine tho) but ull be ok

No, The antibiotics won't work.... Happy Birthday....
