Alcohol and antidepressants aren't a good mix for two reasons. Alcohol inhibits how ADs work and their combined effects can be unpredictable. Sometimes you might be able to drink a herd of alcoholic elephants under the table without raising a sweat, on other occasions a small drink may turn legs to rubber. Be cautious until you see how you're affected and don't take risks, especially don't drive even if you think you're doing okay.
