The theory about not drinking whilst on antibiotics is nonsense. It dates back to sailors contracting v.d. from prostitutes and being told that the antibiotics 'wouldn't work' if they drank alcohol, when in fact the truth is that the doctors feared that if p^ssed, they would
forget to take their antibiotics and end up with chronic syphillis....to pass on and on and on.
It's fine to drink moderately whilst on antibiotics, the contrary really is just an urban myth.
