My friends say that if your are on antibiotics and you drink you get drunk a hell of a lot quicker. Is this true? And if it is, how does this happen?

Antibiotics. 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)
And yes you get drunk a lot quicker, depending on your medicine dose
This ALL depends on the type of antibiotic tablet and what the antibiotic is being used to treat.
In any case..WHY would U do this or WHY should anyone do such an idiotic thing.
NOT that it might be dangerous..I wouldn’t think that its a fatal thing to do..but I certainly would not recommend it..
But if the antibiotics were taken, say, some 6 hours BEFORE drinking, then I dont see ANY danger at all
I wonder at the reason for your question ??
