Amoxicillin and alcohol?

Answer:
Don't drink with the meds - you can wait another couple of days to get drunk.
The anti-biotic won't interfere with you getting drunk. The alcohol will interfere with the anit-biotics affect and render it useless.
Amoxyl is one anti-biotic that does not go well with alchohol. Booze stops it working and wipes out the effect of the anti-biotic course you are on. There are other anti-biotics you can take that aren't affected by booze but they are less pokey.
Trust me! You really don't want to do this! Bad idea!If you get terribly drunk and take an antibiotics too you will be ILL and I mean ILL! Also the antibiotics won't have a chance to work properly so be wise and don't drink while you're on antibiotics! You could end up in hospital. Seen it!
You ask "would it be ok?" -Would what be ok? You won't die.
You also ask "will the amoxicillin affect this?" -I assume that "this" is your getting drunk. No, amoxicillin won't affect your getting drunk. You can still get drunk.It is your immune system that cures you of whatever it is you have, and not the antibiotic.. the antibiotic only assists your immune system. Alcohol as you know lessens the effectiveness of your immune system.500mg is a hefty dose.. It would be interesting to see if you will even be in the MOOD to drink after that dose.. even 8hrs after.
Ask yourself "Do I want to get rid of the infection or do I want to get drunk?" You can get drunk anytime but you can't get rid of it without you meds. And it's stupid to waste your meds when drinking cause it's not gonna do anything. Why did you get your meds if you aren't gonna use them correctly? If you don't take them correctly you may be headed back to doc for more. Make the right decision and take care of you, then once your better you can celebrate!!
