people keep telling me it's a bad idea.
Do you just get messy or does the booze reverse the effects of the drugs or anything?
bit of a shitter if you can't touch a drop while on them.
I'm on a 10 day course of liquid penicillin that i started on Wednesday morning. will it set me back massively?
cheers

10 days isn't exactly a lot to go without a drink is it.

I think at worst it will do more damage to your kidneys than regular drinking will.

I drank on penecillin in ibiza
alcohol is supposed to stop antibiotics working.....so if you're gonna drink don't bother taking any for a few hours beforehand then start taking again next day

I was prescribed anti-histamines on which you're not supposed to drink. I forgot and had one pint and felt bloody awful. Not to be recommended. Not sure if it's the same for anti-biotics.

Looks like i'll be best off taking it easy tomorrow then. Probably for the best.
I'd promised them i'd drink a few Strongbows with Absinthe tops as well.

Alcohol causes the blood cells / vessels to open up more, so you'll find that more of the medication you are on gets absorbed faster...
So for example with normal medication, if you say took a pain killer that lasts for say 6-8 hours, but were drinking. You'd find that the effects were a lot stronger and the medication would run out faster.
hence it generally 'gets you fucked' / makes the medication less effective at what it's doing.

There is a certain anti-biotic out there that you can't drink whilst taking, I assume it probably makes you very Ill, and if it is that you are prescribed the doctor would have said. The rest you can, all it does is stop the anti biotics working. the rest is all mythology iirc. People may feel fucked quicker, probably dependant on what they are taking them for in the first place kicking in a bit!

The one your definatly not suposed to drink on is metronidazole.
Pennicillin based ones its probably best not to if you can help it. Icreases the effects of alcohol and will reduce the efficency of the drug. By all means have a pint maybe just dont get smashed into next week

you get drunk cheaper winner, surely drinking one day couldnt destroy thr effects of a full course of anti-biotics.
