Question by sharpy: Can I drink alcohol if I’m on 100mg Doxycycline daily for treatment of Acne?
The leaflet provided with the tablets says not to drink alcohol with them.

I’ve seen conflicting advice online though, mainly relating to antibiotics not working as well with alcohol in your system but i’m using them for Acne on a mild dose for a prolonged period so one days ineffectiveness is not necessarily a real problem.

Is this about right? Can I drink alcohol when i’m taking these antibiotics?
