All penicillin drugs may bind with the alcohol molecule in the stomach or intestines and be carried out without absorbing into the body. You will be taking the drug, but the body can't use it, so it's like not taking anything and you get worse. Another thing that happens is that penicillin in the stomach reduces acid production and the drug, along with the alcohol can throw off your acid balance which can be life threatening. If you continue to drink alcohol with the antibiotic, the combination may cause liver or kidney problems. Antibiotics need to be taken on time until the medications is finished. Starting and stopping medications of this type confuse the body and it may begin to be immune to the treatment and you will need stronger meds later.

Yes you can only it stops them working right so I wouldn't if I were you cause there's no point in taking them as they won't get rid of whatever you got them for so what's most important a drink or getting better

There shouldn't be any adverse reactions, but alcohol will counter the effects of them, therefor it is not something you should do. Hold off the drinking untilafter you do the whole series of pills.

best taken with a full glass (8 ounces) of water on an empty stomach (either 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals) unless otherwise directed by your doctor

If you have any alcohol with them they will be ineffective. Try to wait until you have finished the prescribed dose. Good luck!

No they are antibiotics, and will not work if you drink alcohol. Give your liver a rest for a week till you get better.

if i'm on any penicillin derivative, i continue drinking beer but take one extra pill a day to keep up the strength of the pills, silly, but it works for me.

You can but it's not reccomended. It will inhibit their action so they won't work so well and it may make you feel a bit woozy. Stick to fruit juice.
