amoxicillin and alcohol

ok, so i'm on amoxicillin, started taking it today for a chest/throat infection. I've heard people saying that you're not meant to drink when you're on them, but is that strictly speaking true??

thing is, my parents have been arguing loads recently and tonight i just feel like i could do with a drink. Not a solution, I know, but im quite a regular drinker anyway, so would one hurt??

Providing it's not metronidazole, alcohol is actually fine with antibiotics.... I just would suggest this is in moderation!

i think someone's very much into chemistry or medicine! i think im gona use it as a good excuse to not drink for a few days, give my body a rest and all that!

alcohol and drugs (of any kind) DON'T mix. you're better off laying off the drink for a few days,getting loads better and taking up drinking again after. Why do you think anyone would lie about that???

I've gotta be pedantic; alcohol is a drug. So drugs and drugs don't mix.

Erm, she's a doctor You'd hope she'd know.
