ty for the response. i am glad to know that drinking once in a while is unlikely to be harmful if done responsibly.
I notice no ''depressing'' feeling after drinking though. The improved socialness just goes away and I seem to return back to how I was. Strange.
The only things I have drank to anyone wondering are Keith's bottled beer. White wine. And vodka.

> Mate, go easy on the scaremongering will you? "Danger", "Fire", "Tip toeing". You might be unnecessarily alarming MAOI users. If you cared to read up on MAOIs, alcohol is not contraindicated. Sure, drinking whilst on any anti-depressant is counter-productive since alcohol is a depressant but it is not necessarily dangerous at all.
