Can I drink alcohol on New Year's Eve with Moklar and Metformin?
Good evening. It's New Year's Eve today, so it's obvious that I'd like to have some alcohol with my friends at a party. I've recently started taking metformin, and the last time I took it was at 10 p.m. yesterday. If I drink some champagne around 12 p.m. today, will I be okay? How long after withdrawal can I drink alcohol? I'm interested in the same thing with the moklar - it's also a drug that I take. I'd like to point out that I haven't taken it yet, and the last time I took it was yesterday around 5 p.m.

We have written about the safety of alcohol consumption during treatment with metformin preparations in our opinions:
Alcohol should also be avoided while taking Moklar. The combination of alcohol and Moklar increases the risk of side effects.
However, the average half-life of the drug is about 3 hours, which means that after more than 15 hours, the concentration of Moklar in the blood is close to zero and drinking a small amount of alcohol (e.g. some champagne) should not have a major impact on the safety of the therapy.
