ALL ANSWERS AND ADVICE WILL HELP SO PLEASEEEEE COMMENT!!! ;);)

Saturday I am having a big party for St. Patricks Day where there will be alcohol. Obviously. However, I have a bacterial infection down there... (NOT an STD) and today I was given Metronidazol (250mg) to take 3 times a day for a week to get rid of it.

But apparently you CAN NOT take it with alcohol. I guess it can make you very sick. So... should I wait until after Saturday to take it or should I start taking it now and then maybe stop Friday, Saturday and Sunday and then continue? I'm not gonna ask my doctor cuz she is near impossible to get a hold of and my dad works at the pharmacy I go to and he doesn't know I drink...

I Need Answers ASAP so I know if I should take it tonight or not!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

You are right. Consuming alcohol with that particular medicine will make you extremely sick - it's what they give to alcoholics so they can't drink.
I know it's frustrating that a bunch of tablets can ruin a party but your health is more important here.
You can't start taking it, stop, drink, then start taking it again, because it just won't work - antibiotics take a little while to do their thing, that's why you get a course of them.
If you really want to drink, then don't start your course until Monday/Tuesday, because if there's still alcohol content in your blood, it can also make you sick when you start mixing it with Metro tablets (or metro gel).
