Julia replied: "It doesn't matter that it's OTC. It's still not a good idea to mix certain medications with alcohol. (Tylenol is OTC, but taking it with even three drinks a day cause liver damage.) Anithistamine has properties that depress the central nervous system. Alcohol depresses the central nervous system. It is never a good idea to take two things at one time that are CNS depressants, especially if one is not in a controlled amount, like alcohol.
Also, I am surprised that your doctor didn't tell you not to drink with the antibiotics. Alcohol essentially destroys the effects of the antibiotics, never mind how sick you will get combining the two. I don't even know about the prednisone, but unless uncontrollable vomiting and loss of consciousness sound good to you, it's a good idea to abstain until the medications are out of your system."
