I recently got my wisdoms out and I was prescribed Clindamycin as a pill. And I was planning to go to a party on Saturday for New Years [3 days after the surgery]. I was prescribed to take one pill every 8 hours for about 10 days. And I was planning on consuming alcohol that 4th night and I have been doing a lot of research and it says Clindamycin does not interact with Ethanol or Alcohol. So is it safe to consume alcohol while taking this medication? If not am I able to skip a dose and drink then take the medication again after? Thanks.

is it okay to become intoxicated on alcohol while taking this antibiotic ?
thanks.
Alcoholic beverages will not affect the efficacy of this antibiotic. On the other hand, if you are taking pain medicine due to the surgery, you will want to be careful as the alcohol can potentially increase the side effects of the pain medicine.
