A widespread myth holds that you shouldn't drink alcohol while taking antibiotics, but in fact, drinking doesn't lessen the effects of the drugs. However, alcohol can lower your general energy and delay your recovery so it is best to minimize drinking until you've finished the prescribed course of antibiotic treatment. (Beyond that, chronic liver damage from excessive alcohol consumption can affect the metabolism and toxicity of antibiotics.)

Drugs and Alcohol don't mix
you should never drink alcohol on any antibiotic.. it can cause the medicine to not work as effectively and you may feel excessively drunk for less alcohol.

for all the non believers that it may make it less effective, here you go.. i never said it reacted with the drug.. and here is a link that talks about how it can cause a loss of effectiveness.
