        If you are on a course of antibiotics,alcohol should not be mixed with them.

          I tend to follow the advice that is printed on the packaging of Antibiotics.Do not take alcohol while undertaking treatment with this medication.

          Umbriel very well said,and I found it most interesting and I do agree with you in what you are saying, though there is one antibiotic that gives you same affects as antibuse dont know the name of yet when I find out will let you know!but my husband had it for tooth troubles

          You can either drink or take the penicillin and get well, which ever is more important to you..

              Alcohol destroys the effect of antibiotics. Don't drink while taking them...

                One is usually prescribed anti-biotic's for a 5-10-14 day period, has your anti-biotic therapy been prolonged? If this is not the case and you want to drink after such a short time maybe there is another problem going on!?

                        Generally speaking, when you get a prescription medication, an information sheet will come with it and warnings and advice will be attached to the container.  
                        I think the answer is right there in front of you.


                        I gave your question a thumb's up because you used "affect" and "effectiveness" correctly. It is a happy day for the Chief of the Grammar Police.
