> that alcohol worsens depression or interferes with antidepressants? That's what I'm wondering. I can't find anything on Google except vague cautions against drinking for common-sense reasons.<
My take on alcohol is that it's not a good idea to drink it when on medications, but perhaps once in a while, it might be OK to have one drink for socializing.
Excessive alcohol intake isn't good for anyone, patients or so-called normal people.
If you need to drink all the time, you are an alcoholic, medications or not.
