Drinking on antibiotics?

[Spunky]

I have 2 more days left on antibiotics, how dangerous is it to have JUST 2-3 beers while taking antibiotics?

Could be extremely dangerous. Christ, how hard is it to lay off the brew for a while?

Not so much bro. I mean it aint good for you by any stretch, but it wont kill ya. If it makes you feel any better, last night I took 16(that's right 1-6) Vicodin and had about 10 beers. Today: Slight stomach ache, and possibly a little Liver stress, but I doubt it took any years off my life. Then again, why would I care anyhow...I could get hit by a Bus tomorrow.

Hard on your liver (not like Tylenol and Alcohol, but bad).

Also, a few beers (or ounces of alcohol) can nullify the antibiotic, possibly not killing off all the infection, thereby strengthening the infection even more than before, and resulting in another, more potent round of antibiotics.

My advice. Drink up - you only live once. Why let something like a liver hold you back?

i realized how i don't miss elite after reading these responses. some serious responses but mainly alot of sarcastic undertones...suggesting that i have trouble controlling my drinking.... i just asked if it was dangerous, i didn't ask for smart ass remarks.

I'm not advising the dude to go ahead with this, because it isn't like he's eating candy-necklaces, but I will say that you doom & gloomers who act like having these 2-3 Beers with the Antibiotics is going to take years off of his life, make me howl with laughter...Thanks! Christ guys, I know people who drank & smoked heavily everyday for YEARS, who after quitting became the epitome of health. Quit over-reacting. The body is alot more resilliant than you think.

Bro, after reading that shit do me a favor and PLEASE have the Beers. You need them. I think that everyone that responded tried to help. Sorry you're so damn sensitive.

I ain't no Doc but while on them years ago I asked my Dr. buddy if it was ok. He said it would do no harm other then nullify the Antibiotic.

If you are on antibiotics it is perfectly safe to consume alcohol. I would suggest waiting 3-4 hours after your last pill to do so to avoid upset stomach if you are of weak constitution.
