Best Answer

Since the mixing of substances in your body is never a good idea, you should consider not drinking any alcohol while on prescription drugs. If you feel that you must indulge, however, the maximum amount of alcohol you should drink depends up on the type of medication. People on antidepressants and hypoglycemic drugs, for instance, should not drink any alcohol under any circumstances. When taking other drugs, alcohol just increases the risk of side effects, like drowsiness or nausea, so you should drink no more than 1 to 2 drinks in a day, and stop drinking immediately if you feel any side effects.
