title_body: Why can't antibiotics be taken with beer?
upvoted_answer: As everything in life, it depends.... From the Mayo Clinic:
  
  
    Antibiotics and alcohol can cause similar side effects, such as
    stomach upset, dizziness and drowsiness. Combining antibiotics and
    alcohol can increase these side effects.
    
    A few antibiotics — such as metronidazole (Flagyl), tinidazole
    (Tindamax) and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim, Septra) —
    should not be mixed with alcohol because this may result in a more
    severe reaction. Drinking any amount of alcohol with these medications
    can result in side effects such as flushing, headache, nausea and
    vomiting, and rapid heart rate.
  
  
  So some antibiotics may not cause issues while others might. Best thing to do is follow the medications warning label
