depends on the type of antibiotic, but normally it is not a good idea.
The only thing it will do is lessen the effect of the medication only in your PCN ones it will not cause death or overdose. u just may stay sicker a day or so longer.....

Can you drink alcohol while on an antibiotic for a bacterial infection?
This depends on what you mean by "drink alcohol" <g> The only antibiotic that you absolutely CANNOT have any alcohol whatever is Flagyl or metronidazole - even splashing alcohol on your skin while taking that drug will make you vomit! It is generally not a good idea to drink lots of alcohol when your body is trying to heal from any infection. Alcohol slows everything down in your body and brain, and drinking more than maybe ONE drink the whole time you are on the antibiotic could make the infection last longer. The actual medication does not have any interaction with the alcohol like metronidazole does, though.
You are on antibiotics will one or two beers harm you?
"Harm" no, but alcohol completely makes taking the antibiotic moot. You actually just might as well not take the antibiotic, which of course, you CANNOT, if you are on an antibiotic for any reason. If you do NOT taking it would be absolutly wrong, always remember to take the entire perscription, as directed, as you know, your body could grow immune to the antibiotic if it is not taken correctly, then, the next time you are required to take an antibiotic, your body may not take and use the antibiotic properly.
