"   Question Does alcohol alter the effectiveness of the drugs I am taking? I am 5ft 8, weigh around 9st 6lbs and eat very little. I drink around six pints of 4.4 per cent alcohol minimum per day and up to 10 pints at weekends.   Answer The bottom line here is that you are drinking too much. You should cut back to no more than four pints in any day (weekends included). I suggest you do it gradually. Alcohol affects the liver and the liver deals with all your drugs so drinking as much as you do as often as you do is causing the drugs to be affected. You might find that if you cut back your alcohol that your doctor will be able to cut back on some of your drugs.
