Do not stop taking the Unidox Solutab antibiotic to drink alcohol. Too quick discontinuation of the antibiotic may result in a recurrence of the infection with redoubled force. Bacteria that appear later may be resistant to antibiotics, making it harder to treat. Alcohol weakens the effect of the antibiotic, it can cause that the treatment will be ineffective (i.e. alcohol consumption will have the same effect as discontinuation of the drug for a day "intoxicated"). After that, I will only add that we do not use antibiotics for colds, because colds are caused by viruses, and the antibiotic acts on bacteria. If you need to drink - eat as little as you can and take the antibiotic as prescribed. I think health is more important. After that, a weakened body during infection copes much worse with the metabolism of alcohol.
