Best Answer

Some people are more resistant to the effects of antabuse than others, some cheat on their dosage, and some are willing to put up with the discomfort -- which is in proportion to how much and how rapidly you drink.

This shows how powerful alcohol addiction can be, BTW.

There's no black or white answer. In an addiction, your brain associated the taste of an alcohol beverage with comfort. By drinking non-alcohol beer or wine, your fooling your brain, and why would you do that to yourself? Secondly, many non alcoholic beverages do contain a really small amount of alcohol (it's mostly mentioned on the product). This could get you sick if on antabuse

Can you drink lite beer and take ampicillin an antibiotic?

I'm not a doctor, but i do believe you CANNOT take any alcohol while on antibiotics, i dont think you will get sick or overdose, but the antibiotic won't work, it would be just as if you had not taken it at all. In fact, the antibiotic will work even if alcohol is taken with it. Drinking alcohol with some antibiotics might cause very huge side effects (called "antabuse effect") and should be avoided. However, Ampicillin is quite a big antibiotic and given in big infections. I don't think you'll have "antabuse effect" if you drink alcohol, but you'll have some exacerbated side effects because of your infection and because of your antibiotics.
