Yes my friend...u can....There are only a few drugs with which alcohol is contraindicated.

They're mostly those drugs which cause a process called DISULFIRAM LIKE REACTION where the the drugs inhibit the enzyme responsible to metabolise the alcohol into its end products....If u make the mistake of taking the two together, it can lead to Symptoms like Nausea,Vomiting,Accelerated heart rate,Flushing,shortness of breath,severe headache....Something like the worst hangover u can ever get..

Some of these drugs are :

METRONIDAZOLE

TINIDAZOLE

CEFOPERAZONE

CHLORPROPAMIDE

TOLBUTAMIDE

CHLORAMPHENICOL

GRISEOFULVIN etc....

Then there are other drugs which are a problem due to a different cause -

that is drugs that themselves depress your Nervous system like alcohol and mixing the two causes increased Central nervous system depression

Like: Diazepam, barbiturates , diphenhydramine , promethazine etc ...

BOTTOMLINE: Go ahead drink ....nothing will happen...only thing that can go wrong might be that ur antibiotic wont be as effective...and that too if ur on a hardout binge.

I would 've written more but i need to take my next dose of Cefuroxime axetil now...and then again Mr. Jack Daniels from my bar is calling out to me :-D .....Alright!! Alright! I'm coming Mr. Daniels..just hold your horses
