Yes, you can drink alcohol while on antibiotics, that you cannot is an old wives' tale. This rumor began, that alcohol 'interferes' with the ability of antibiotics' ability to work properly, in early VD clinics, when it was suspected that alcohol would lead to promiscuity in patients before they were finished with their course of medicine. Therefore, the doctors did not want patients drinking, period. But most of them would have been on antibiotics, naturally, to combat their bacterial infections.

You can find a lot of entries in a typical google search where laypeople are saying "No alcohol with antibiotics!", but you won't find any actual doctors or scientists saying so. And I have a prescription for penicillin right in front of me now, and nowhere on the packaging, description inside, or bottle, does it say not to drink. It warns of taking in combination with certain other medications, but not alcohol. The answer is yes, you can drink.

But it may interfere with its best action and even if it works you would probably end up with a wild case of diarrhea. Since the penicillin (antibiotics) kill good intestinal bacteria and may affect the intestinal villi we get the poops. Alcohol does a similar thing so taking them together is a double shot of water closet torture. That is about the hurt it will give you drinking alcohol and taking penicillin.

actually no it won't most antibiotics are fine with alcohol (except metronidazole)

THe only reason that historically people were told not to drink while on antibiotics was to prevent them getting drunk and getting themselves re-infected while having antibiotic treatment for syphillis.
