Yes, as I understand it, alcohol inactivates antibiotics. So don't drink alcohol while you're on antibiotics.....it can make things much worse, plus cause the bacterial infection you have to be antibiotic resistant.......not a good thing.

Usually if alcohol is a problem it will say so in the information you got with the antibiotic. Some antibiotics are hindered by alcohol, others aren't! I personally find alcohol itself makes throat infections a bit worse when I'm not on antibiotics though...
