Can't take meds with alcohol but Im having a party this weekend...
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!!!!!!!!!!!

Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
health first enjoy next
if you take care of your health now, you can have 1000's of party blasts in your life. if you want to enjoy this party sadly you could end up with this, this can be your last party or can having two more. so think yourself which is the best to choose.

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).

The one guiding principal I was always instructed whenever I was given antibiotics is this:
Stay on them for the full course, WITHOUT interruption.
Imagine having something like bacterial vaginosis (not saying that is what you have, just picking a random below the belt non-std infection) that you can't every get rid of because it is immune to antibiotics. Bad idea, right?
If it were me that was given the antibiotics, I would skip on the party and get myself well, so I could be in better shape for the next social event.
Getting well has to be #1.
Let me ask you a single question, putting it in a way you may not have considered:
Should getting drunk be more important than your reproductive health?
Put it like that and the whole thing looks kind of obvious, eh? :-)
I wish you a speedy recovery.
