If you are on penicillin and drinking alcohol then you should drink very minute servings as that and the penicillin can counter act with your kidneys and you could get kidney damage or even worse kidney failure.On a less fatalistic note - alcohol will reduce the effectiveness of your immune system, negating the beneficial effects of the penicillin. While renal damage IS possible, it is rare. Your best bet is to consult your doctor.

Can you drink alcohol with penicilin?
Yes, you can drink alcohol while on antibiotics, that you cannot is an old wives' tale. This rumor began, that alcohol 'interferes' with the ability of antibiotics' ability to work properly, in early VD clinics, when it was suspected that alcohol would lead to promiscuity in patients before they were finished with their course of medicine. Therefore, the doctors did not want patients drinking, period. But most of them would have been on antibiotics, naturally, to combat their bacterial infections. You can find a lot of entries in a typical google search where laypeople are saying "No alcohol with antibiotics!", but you won't find any actual doctors or scientists saying so. And I have a prescription for penicillin right in front of me now, and nowhere on the packaging, description inside, or bottle, does it say not to drink. It warns of taking in combination with certain other medications, but not alcohol. The answer is yes, you can drink.
