its simply depends on which antibiotics are you on ,because there are some with which drinking is contraindicated and can be risky whilst with others no problems.There is a generally held belief that alcohol should not be consumed while on a course of oral antibiotics. This advice is correct if a patient is taking metronidazole, cephamandole (may cause a disulfiram-like reaction), and possibly oral ketoconazole ,(may cause facial flushing). However there is no contraindication to the consumption of alcohol with other antibiotics.
still try to read information leaflet for he antibiotics you are consuming.

It depends on what the antibiotic is. There are some that have antibuse in them and will make you deathly ill if you drink with them. Some antibiotics are rendered useless if taken with alcohol. Sorry with out knowing which antibiotic you are on I can't say for sure. It would be best if you don't drink.

No, it will not be ok. You have no idea how it will affect you and the medicine will not work like it needs to if you take it and drink alcohol. The medicine will work better on getting you well if you don't drink.

it depends on your antibiotic. some antibiotics interact with alcohol and so you wouldn't want to take ANY alcohol with it. a quick phone call to your pharmacy can answer that.
but even if your antibiotic doesn't interact with alcohol, you should keep in mind you're taking it to fight an infection...and excess alcohol will have negative effects on your body's immune system.

The antibiotics won't magnify the effects of alcohol. However, the alcohol will reduce the effectiveness of the antibiotics. It's not recommended that you do it.

The alcohol will affect you and the medication you are taking. Have a good time, but skip the drinks for your health's sake.
