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.

Azithromycin is an antibiotic and does not have an impairment factor to your nervous system. Alcohol alone will impair you as normal, but will not change the effects of azithromycin.
Can you drink lite beer and take ampicillin an antibiotic?
I'm not a doctor, but i do believe you CANNOT take any alcohol while on antibiotics, i dont think you will get sick or overdose, but the antibiotic won't work, it would be just as if you had not taken it at all. In fact, the antibiotic will work even if alcohol is taken with it. Drinking alcohol with some antibiotics might cause very huge side effects (called "antabuse effect") and should be avoided. However, Ampicillin is quite a big antibiotic and given in big infections. I don't think you'll have "antabuse effect" if you drink alcohol, but you'll have some exacerbated side effects because of your infection and because of your antibiotics.
Is it okay to take antibiotic eye drops for the first time after drinking alcohol the night before?
