There are no particular side effects to drinking alcohol with Amoxicillin, which is a penicillin based antibiotic.

Like all antibiotics, it is best taken on an empty stomach and suggested that it is taken some time before drinking alcohol so that there is plenty of time for the antibiotic to get absorbed from the stomach.

The main side effects of penicillin-based antibiotics are nausea and diarrhoea and as these can also be the side effects of an overdose of alcohol, it can sometimes be difficult to tell which side effects are which! For this reason people should keep their alcohol to the minimum when on medication.
