I've drank on sertraline and I was okay. Not condoning it but you won't die probably. I was on it longer before drinking though so my body had a chance to adjust to it bc it can have pretty rough side effects when u first start (my GP warned me about s*icidal thoughts).
The advice doesn't say what happens if you do drink (unlike with grapefruit juice where it is explicit).
