Can You Drink While Taking Amoxicillin 875

I am taking 3 pills of Amoxicillin everyday on a 7 day course, however it is my best friends birthday party and I want to know if I will be able to drink alcohol? Is this safe? ## It is best to avoid alcohol while taking a prescription medication, as warned by the U.S. FDA, because it may cause worsening of the side effects, including nausea, dizziness, and drowsiness. However, if you are approved to imbibe, please make sure that you will not be driving, or operating any dangerous machinery. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Is a small glass of wine or a beer ok to drink while on Amoxicillin/k 500 mg medication? ## Will AMOX TR-K CLV 875-125MG still work if you drink beer or wine? I see it says it's not good to drink any alcohol on it, but does it still work?
