I take 10mg of Lexapro twice daily and have for about 3 months now. I am a bartender, I wouldn't say I'm a light weight, but now that I am on this medication, holy moly, I can not drink at all. Initially I thought it was just liquor, but recently I had three beers, and blacked out. Apparently I was not acting like myself either. I remember starting dinner, and then, nothing. I blacked out for over 5 hours. If the medication didn't help so much with my anxiety, I would not take it. Maybe at some point I will consider switching to something else. Either way I would say be careful when consuming any alcohol while taking this medication.

Thank you ,:)I like to drink a couple of beers in the evening and have been wondering if I can still do this when taking this medication

ever since I started Lexapro, when I drink I blackout. it’s the weirdest thing, I’ll have recollection of some stuff but the majority of my memory from the evening before will be gone.

I have been taking 10mgs of lexapro for over 15 years and drink regularly. My liver is fine (tested every few months) I truly think it depends on the person, other drug interactions and the mental state.

Strange, I don't see any difference with how alcohol affects me so far. Only been taking it 5 days and had a few beers every night since and nothing different for me. Doesn't enhance the alcohol or do the opposite. Just the same as before Lex.

Actually there's been a lot of people hospitalized for it. Vomited, it I creases your risk of liver damage, etc. You really shouldn't mix that with alcohol. But for As you wish, it's your liver and you only get one.
