this is a question for a psychiatrist not a psychologist. a psychologist is not trained about medication, and a psychiatrist is, i don't think there is a medication that allows u to drink. alcohol usually interferes with most prescription drugs. sorry, i would advise against drinking

A phycologist is someone that is an expert on algae. A psychiatrist is the one that can prescribe drugs. Usually a person is on lithium for long periods of time, as long as it is working. There are not many drugs available to treat a bipolar disorder, that allow one to drink alcohol.

If you are bipolar you should not be drinking alcohol whether you are taking meds or not.
Cut it out of your life and learn how to have fun being yourself.
