most antibiotics become less effective or ineffective when you drink.  I wouldn't do it myself.  Usually, when you fill a prescription like this, it has a warning label that you should not drink alcohol with this product.  Check the package.

Are you going to a wine tasting? Typically you should start with white wine and work over to reds then finish with dessert wines. Reds tend to be more full-bodied and can overwhelm the taste of the white if you drink it first.\nIf you're just going to a party and have a preference for red wine, then just have red wine.

any colour wine, although a glass of red each day is supposed to be beneficial to the heart.\n\nred wine mixed with diet coke (50/50) is actually a very nice combination, try it!

There is no interaction between the digestion of alcohol and birth control pills. You will be fine.  Drink responsibly.

Nope, becoming drunk is the sin. Catholics often use real wine for communion. I have the occasional drink. I work at a 5 star restaurant, and we go to wine tastings. My Jehovah's Witness co worker tastes the wine with the rest of us.

No, it's not good for you so don't consume it at all. I hear a glass or red wine a day is good.

Wine is considered by most to be dangerous to your health.  It does have some soothing aspects for the stomach.  However, in the US, too much and driving is becomes legal issues.  So better to avoid wine, which can lead to alcholism and harsher liquors.  Stick with natural juices, water and tea!

No. It may make the antibiotic ineffective. Many do.\nAlcohol-Medication Interactions : \n Alcohol Alert From NIAAA Antibiotics are used to treat infectious diseases. In combination with acute alcohol consumption, some antibiotics may cause nausea, vomiting, headache, and possibly convulsions; among these antibiotics are furazolidone (Furoxone), griseofulvin (Grisactin and others), metronidazole (Flagyl), and the antimalarial quinacrine (Atabrine) (7). Isoniazid and rifampin are used together to treat tuberculosis, a disease especially problematic among the elderly (12) and among homeless alcoholics (13). Acute alcohol consumption decreases the availability of isoniazid in the bloodstream, whereas chronic alcohol use decreases the availability of rifampin. In each case, the effectiveness of the medication may be reduced (7).How Alcohol and Drugs Interact \n\nTo exert its desired effect, a drug generally must travel through the bloodstream to its site of action, where it produces some change in an organ or tissue. The drug's effects then diminish as it is processed (metabolized) by enzymes and eliminated from the body. Alcohol behaves similarly, traveling through the bloodstream, acting upon the brain to cause intoxication, and finally being metabolized and eliminated, principally by the liver. The extent to which an administered dose of a drug reaches its site of action may be termed its availability. Alcohol can influence the effectiveness of a drug by altering its availability. Typical alcohol-drug interactions include the following (7): First, an acute dose of alcohol (a single drink or several drinks over several hours) may inhibit a drug's metabolism by competing with the drug for the same set of metabolizing enzymes. This interaction prolongs and enhances the drug's availability, potentially increasing the patient's risk of experiencing harmful side effects from the drug. Second, in contrast, chronic (long-term) alcohol ingestion may activate drug-metabolizing enzymes, thus decreasing the drug's availability and diminishing its effects. After these enzymes have been activated, they remain so even in the absence of alcohol, affecting the metabolism of certain drugs for several weeks after cessation of drinking (8). Thus, a recently abstinent chronic drinker may need higher doses of medications than those required by nondrinkers to achieve therapeutic levels of certain drugs. Third, enzymes activated by chronic alcohol consumption transform some drugs into toxic chemicals that can damage the liver or other organs. Fourth, alcohol can magnify the inhibitory effects of sedative and narcotic drugs at their sites of action in the brain. To add to the complexity of these interactions, some drugs affect the metabolism of alcohol, thus altering its potential for intoxication and the adverse effects associated with alcohol consumption (7).

Can I have some of whatever you're drinking?

I will give you the exact reply.Nope,the grape juice is great to be taken not as you suggest in the evening,but in the mornings.And it really does mirracles.But it is not rich in anto-oxidants too much and as per them the foods,bevearages,where there are really pleanty of them are peppers,carrots,blackberry!!,strwaerries,etc.The scientific researches are shown that a glass of good red wine is a fine option,because is full of anti-oxidants and other substances,which are in immediate connection in anti-aging process,hindering the oxidation on the blood cells,etc.My pal,take into account that in some countries,like Italy and France doctors adviced and administered a to heart suffereing and other patients a glass of red wine.So CHEERS!

Did you drink any alcohol? You aren't supposed to drink and take meds.

Many medications should NOT be taken with citrus fruit or juice. A piece of buttered toast and half a banana, or half a peanut butter sandwich and 4 ounces of milk is sufficient to satisfy the "Take with food" instruction. If your medication dose can be taken at a mealtime, eat part or all of your meal before taking your pill(s).

Not a good idea. Alcohol dehydrates you and if you have some kind of infection that you need antibiotics for, you need as much fluids as you can get. Hold off on the alcohol til you feel better.
