There is a generally held belief that alcohol should not be consumed while on a course of oral antibiotics. This suggestion is correct if a patient is taking metronidazole, cephamandole (may grounds a disulfiram-like reaction), and possibly oral ketoconazole (may cause facial flushing). However near is no contradication to the consumption of alcohol with other antibiotics.
