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.
