Can I booze? I've always heard that alcohol kills the effect of antibiotics but it seems this might be a myth. The warnings on the side don't mention alcohol. Tell me I can booze it up please.

Personally I won't do it, unless it's absolutely necessary.
Alcohol will tax your organ as your body tries to get rid of them. Liver will be working harder to get rid of alcohol.
Hold off on drinking while you're on medication, treasure your liver as liver, once damaged, doom you to death. We have been able to create some artificial organs, but not liver because liver's function is to get rid of toxins from our body.
Liver can repair itself and you can receive partial liver transplant that will grow back (both for donor and donee) but why risk it?
That's why I try to avoid taking tylenol and many other medications for as long as I could because those medication are often like a 2-edged sword, it helps your body in some way, but it can also tax your body in getting rid of it. The benefit outweigh the cost in general, hence FDA will approve them, but if I can endure or recover on my own without much long-term effect, why not stay away from medication?
