And I am being drug specific - I know not all antibiotics work when alcohol is in the system. So I only want to know about Ceflacor.

I had been giving an answer to a similar question like this and I will give the same answer:
Alcohol actually doesn't lessen the effects of any antibiotics. However, alcohol could lower the general energy of your body and delay your recovery so it would be at your best interest to avoid drinking if you will be on an antibiotic course.
However, when taking cefaclor, it is specifically advised to avoid alcohol (includes wine, beer, and liquor) as it can make the infection more difficult to treat.
Another nasty thing hat can happen is due to the fact that alcohol generally intensifies the side effects of a lot of antibiotics as well as with other medications. The side effects mostly intensified are dizziness, nausea, and vomiting.
Be aware too that excessive alcohol consumption can affect the metabolism and toxicity (increases) of antibiotics which could cause a liver damage.

If possible, alcohol should generally be avoided with all medication but you CAN drink alcohol with Amoxicillin. It is a complete myth that alcohol prevents penicillin antibiotics from working. The only antibiotics that you must avoid with alcohol are the Metronidazole type antibiotics- they have a direct interaction with alcohol. You can check with your Pharmacist if you are unsure, but I am not wrong. Doesn't say you have to avoid alcohol in the drug advise leaflet that comes with the drug does it? Exactly. Ignore all the above answers who have said that alcohol will stop the antibiotic from working; if people do not have the correct knowledge they really should avoid answering medical questions.

No you should not drink alcohol while taking antibiotics, your antibiotic won't work, you are just wasting your money. stop drinking until you are done taking your pills

It is generally not a good idea to take alcohol with any anti-biotic. It will react with the chemicals and can cause you side effects.
