Well, unless you take your antibiotics with an alcoholic drink 
I'm pretty sure you should be okay. Although I doubt many drinks are going to interact with medication, water is probably the best

Hoorah for nip/tuck.
Yes milk is a good intestinal liner
I forgot to mention food. Ibuprofen (most anti-inflammatories infact) should be taken with or after food as they can irritate the gut wall and lead to nasty ulcers
Unless the medication states they should be taken on an empty stomach (many do), I'd take a pill after food and with water

Oh no, I know you can drink with antibiotics.
Well except for one (the name is not coming to mind
) in that if you drink whilst taking them, you can end up with respiratory failure and all kinds
Generally, drinking in moderation is fine when on antibiotics, but excessive alcohol can lower your general energy and delay your recovery so it is best to minimize drinking until you?ve finished the prescribed course of antibiotic treatment. (Beyond that, chronic liver damage from excessive alcohol consumption can affect the metabolism and toxicity of antibiotics.)

Well, I certainly wouldn't be telling anyone it was okay to drink alcohol whilst taking metronidazole or tinidazole.
Grapefruit juice is one to watch with some medication too.

It's ripanficin - prescribed for TB. Yes you can drink on all antibiotics, you'll just not feel very good.

********. You'll feel a lot worse than not very well on some.
My mum's lot said she'd throw up if she drank any alcohol...
I thought milk could stop some pills working? My brother was on oxytetrocyclene (or something like that) for his skin, and he couldn't drink milk with it.
Certain drugs should not be taken with certain drinks...with grapefruit juice as one on them. It can interact with the drugs, either their absorption rate or inhibits it completely.
Here is something you might find useful regarding grapefruit juice interaction with drugs. There are other drinks that would have similar effects on other drugs. We should always be careful, and the safest way is following doctors' advice / instructions on the packet, and water should be fine for the majority of the drugs.

Grapefruit Juice: Grapefruit juice is one of the few foods that interacts with prescription drugs. Grapefruit juice causes some drugs to be absorbed too quickly - a dangerous effect for people taking drugs with high potential for toxicity or serious side effects. Don't drink grapefruit juice if you take calcium channel blockers for high blood pressure. The combination can be fatal! Grapefruit juice can also have dangerous interactions with drugs for allergies like Claritin and Allegra, antihistamines like Benadryl, and high blood pressure drugs. Grapefruit juice may interact with organ transplant drugs, estrogens and oral contraceptives, anti-anxiety medications, Methadone, Viagra, HIV drugs, seizure drugs and statin drugs for high cholesterol. Note: While grapefruit juice has the reputation for interactions, the fruit may have the same effect if consumed in large amounts.
A note on antidepressant MAO drugs (mono amine oxidase inhibitors): MAO's are a rare class of drugs known to have interactions with foods. People taking MAO inhibitors for depression should avoid foods high in tyramine like cheese, sausage, alcohol, legumes, fish, sauerkraut, soups, and yeast extracts, and the herbs ginseng and scotch broom.
