For me alcohol doesn't mix with ADs when just starting them. Over time when my body got used to them alcohol's effects weren't altered much, although the euphoria was slightly enhanced which meant that the down-time the following days was much worse. On fluoxetine whenever I drank alcohol I would be fine while drinking but the hangover on the following days was so bad, I mean I felt so low emotionally that it's even difficult to describe. It always returned to normal couple of days later but it wasn't worth repeating.
If you really must drink while on ADs or any other psychotropic meds try to minimize the amounts you consume. A little (3 beers max) won't do much harm. More might be gambling with the effectiveness of the drugs your taking for your mood or whatever reason you take them.-Ikaros
