I've been on Zoloft for 20 years.
Nobody would recommend that you drink while on any type of medication. Alcohol is a depressant so you are defeating the purpose of taking an antidepressant. But drinking in moderation while taking it won't hurt you.
What do you want to mix it with??? vodka and orange juice tastes better than vodka and Zoloft!!! (Kidding)
Having a drink now and then is fine. Daily could cause problems.

"What should I avoid while taking Zoloft?
Avoid drinking alcohol, which can increase some of the side effects of Zoloft.
Do not take the liquid form of Zoloft if you are taking disulfiram (Antabuse). Liquid Zoloft may contain alcohol and you could have a severe reaction to the disulfiram.
Avoid using other medicines that make you sleepy (such as cold medicine, pain medication, muscle relaxers, medicine for seizures, other medication for depression or anxiety). They can add to sleepiness caused by Zoloft.
Zoloft can cause side effects that may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be awake and alert. "

It's not true that you absolutely can not drink while on Zoloft. It is not recommended. But I have done it and it was not a big deal for me. The only thing I have been on that I absolutely could not drink while on was lithium. It made me sick as if I had been poisoned.

Don't take any alcohol with any anti-depressants, it can really make things worse than better, I did not do well when I took Zoloft, it put me over the edge, I was over 50 mg. and it did not help me what so ever..

I did and i had no problems. But every one is different. Zoloft didn't help my depression anyway. I think you should check with dr.

Shouldn't.
Alcohol is a depressant.
