I have with no problems. I drank maybe 6 glasses of wine on Flagyl. I would test the waters to make sure though. It can make some people puke.

Yeah I am fine with Flagyl and alcohol too, but try some tonight before the big party, so you know how you'll react.

I went to the emergency room with 1 glass of wine and flagyl.

You are not supposed to drink while on flatly I believe. You may vomit from it. I drink when taking cipro with no issues.

Yes, there is that caution/admonition for alcohol and Flagyl, but there are very few documented cases. It is an individual thing.

There is a warning on mixing flagyl and alcohol. In the past I drank fairly heavily while on flagyl and had no issues at all but the heavy drinking was mid day and my flagyl doses were early morning and late night.

I don't think this kind of topic is worth starting a thread on because my mixing flagyl and alcohol successfully does not mean you will also be able to do so as well. Nor is one other poster's experience that he mixed and went to the ER mean you will as well. It is an individual risk factor and you either take it or don't. It is a totally individual thing on drug reactions, and your thread, while probably well intended, is useless as a predictor of what will happen. I would suggest trying a little bit of alcohol and see what happens if you feel like you are in a frisky, risk taking mood.

And in case you are wondering why I did it, I was in a foreign country, locals were offering to buy me drinks, and I did not feel like saying no to my hosts. And once the first drink got hoisted down the hatch, I was feeling VERY frisky about taking risks, and the free drinks kept coming from my hosts, and I just could not say no, and things snowballed. I was on a little bit of a social roll that day and I got really hammered, but I had not started the day with an agenda of getting hammered and testing the mixing of flagyl with booze, it just happened.

By the ways Chris, I just noticed you are from Toronto. It just so happens that the experience I related above happened in Canada, and the guys who bought me the drinks were all strangers in suits from Toronto who were in Montreal on business that concluded early on a Friday afternoon. And fellow baseball fans.

I drank on Flagyl in my UC days and started vomiting horribly

Why take the risks? I don't see how drinking could be that important to have serious side effects happen to you. Every single time I was prescribed Flagyl in my UC days my pharmacist always warn me not to drink while taking the medicine due to serious side effects leading up to death. Yeah it may not affect others but I wouldn't risk it. I know you would like to party like the rest of them and not be left out but you might be left out in the end as the one with a terrible sickness. Be careful what ever you decide.

Flagyl makes me incredibly ill just on its own... SO intolerant of it, I list it as an allergy. Can't even imagine drinking while taking it, in my case.
