Can I drink alcohol while I’m on medication?

Can I drink alcohol while I’m on medication?

Someone who is in recovery of addiction to any substance should not have any alcohol.  For others I recommend admittedly a very strict limit of two servings of alcohol per week.  One serving is either a 12 ounce beer, a 5 ounce glass of wine, or a 1 1/2 ounce shot or liquor such as in a mixed drink.  Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant, so even moderate amounts, even infrequently, could worsen depression.  Alcohol also has negative effects on sleep, despite the common myth that it improves sleep; it may hasten the onset of sleep but then sleep is light, easily interrupted, and non-restorative.  There are also potentially dangerous interactions between alcohol and any psychiatric medication.
