Well, not for a week at least, having been to the Dentists today, getting 3 teeth out and being prescribed to a weeks supply of antibiotics (Amoxycillin or whatever it's called), I can not have a drink for another week
Positives are:
Money Will be Saved
Won't be affected by the smoke in pubs
Downsides are:
No posting on a.net when absolutely shitfaced
When you hear the noise of the Tartan Army Boys, we'll be coming down the road!

Damn, Kirkie, I didn't even know you HAD dentists in Scotland (or the rest of the UK for than matter).
Quoting ME AVN FAN (Reply 6): ever heard the rumour that they are thrifty up in Scotland ?
Thrifty? You think so? My dad (who was born in Glasgow) always tried to get me in cheaper. The old ferries between Malmö and Copenhagen had a toddler fare for kids under five years old, and my dad would claim that I was five years old for years, he stopped when I was nine!
Cheers

Sure, we're concerned for our lives. Just not as concerned as saving 9 bucks on a roundtrip to Ft. Myers.

You can drink when you have to take antibiotics. Once my dentist told me the same shit but I ignored him and drunk a few beers.... and as you can see, I am still alive.

You mean that you drunk a few beers instead of antibiotics?

Quoting Sabena332 (Reply 15): No, I took the antibiotic pills and washed them down with a few beers.
Good for you they worked. Actually, they had less of an effect (faster metabolism). And hey, maybe next time you can get a fulminant hepatitis from the mixture (not that I wish you that, don't get me wrong!)
Sorry, but some of the things doctors say are not bullshit. Not always.

Hmm... did that take place on your last flight with Lufthansa? That would explain a lot...
Seriously, not all antibiotics are the same. Some go well along with alcohol, others won't. Some even show side effects on calcium, so you would better not drink milk after you took them.
I once drank a couple of beers on the "wrong" antibiotics. Boy, what colours I saw... (Though it didn't kill me either, obviously)

Depends heavily on the antibiotic.
Alcohol may limit the effectiveness of the antibiotic, thus helping create antibiotic-resistent bacteria. Not funny ...
Seems that with this one you will be at least safer if you take alcohol:
Int J Clin Pharmacol Ther Toxicol. 1988 Sep;26(9):428-31.
Amoxicillin kinetics and ethanol ingestion.
Morasso MI, Hip A, Marquez M, Gonzalez C, Arancibia A.
Department of Sciences and Pharmaceutical Technology, Faculty of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Chile, Santiago.
The effect of ethyl alcohol ingestion on amoxicillin kinetics was studied. Eight healthy volunteers participated in the study. They received, in three separate occasions, a 500-mg dose of the antibiotic given with water, hydroalcoholic solution or pisco-sour. Blood samples were drawn at appropriate intervals. Amoxicillin was assayed using a microbiological method. Absorption and disposition parameters were calculated by classical pharmacokinetic techniques. There were no statistical significant differences in the rate of elimination of the antibiotic in the three experimental conditions. Ethanol affected significantly the absorption rate constant, lag time and t peak. On the other hand, Cmax and AUC were not significantly modified. Thus, it can be concluded that ethyl alcohol has influence on the rate but not on the extent of absorption.

Yeah... legal and cheap highs
Can we get Aloges to comment on the amount of harm we'd be doing to ourselves please?
Not drinking, also isn't a solution!

29 Skidmarks: We'd all go to the bloody Dentist if we could find one that wasn't in it for just the money!!!!!1 Andy
30 Nighthawk: Haha no luck! Im with the temporary NHS dentist at Mccallums, and she is seriously fit! Lovely little blonde, looks no older than 20! Cant wait for m
31 Gkirk: Only cost �9 for 3 teeth out today. The NHS dentists are remarkably cheap Anyway, gotta go get some warm water with salt to rinse the blood out
32 KROC: Sorry, but cheap and dentist shouldn't go together. Then again, look at British chompers.....I suppose dentists make about $3.50 an hour over there!
33 Gkirk: Lucky I am Scottish and not British then, isn't it
34 Jush: You can drink while on antibiotics BUT you can get wasted more quickly and intense. I was so utterly pissed after two pints i couldn't do shit. Normal
35 Gkirk: Yes, but you don't expect to be in accidents, do you?
36 Logan22L: Since when - you're always mooching off some other poor bastard. They're the ones who should be happy.
37 ME AVN FAN: has Scotland seceded from Britain lately ? well, I remember that you started driving lesson half a year ago or so ?
39 ORFflyer: My doctor told me when I was on Amoxicillan that drinking would only slow down the antibotics. No real harm other than a slower recovery. What kind o

41 Gordonsmall: It can't have been that long ago, my insurance premiums didn't double until late september ....
43 Saintsman: I can't believe that you all fell for the 'dentist' excuse. Only one reason he can't drink when on antibiotics. Clap.
44 Gkirk: So, it's fair to say that Americans and Canadians are the same?
45 Doona: Yes, except for the Canucks who speak French... Cheers Mats
46 Ctbarnes: I couldn't even FIND and NHS dentist when I lived over there, so had to see one privately. He was Nigerian, but I went to him specifically because he
47 Aloges: AFAIK our resident medicine man goes by the name of Flyingbabydoc. I'm just a sophomore.

49 Gkirk: And the Swiss are either French (If your from Geneva or Basle) or German (anywhere else)
50 Aloges: Muahaaa... Kirkie, you truly are one of a kind!
51 ME AVN FAN: - Basel (Basle) is a German speaking city. French speakers are in Geneva, Lausanne, Neuchatel, Fribourg and Sion. German speakers are in Basel, Berne
52 Jush: You will not call the switzerdutsch german, will you? I can't understand a freaking word and it is sure as hell not german.
53 ME AVN FAN: why not ? it of course simply is German, and it actually is the same as the one you can find in neighbouring areas of Germany. YOU possibly understan

59 Pe@rson: Other things to do (read: another trip. This time, over 2 1/2 months).
60 Gkirk: Shut the hell up doofus. Alcohol is legal, drugs are not.
61 Columba: Remember that Simpsons episode where a dentist is showing "the Big Book of British Smiles" to Ralph and other kids that haven´t brushed their theeth
62 777236ER: Well, not quite. Presumably you've been served alcohol whilst you were drunk, as you get 'shitfaced'. Given that, you're assisting a crime.
63 Doona: I suppose I speak for everyone stuck at home for the next two months when I say; "We all hate you now!" Have a good one! Mats
64 LTBEWR: It's a possibility that that besides the amoxicillian, Gkirk may have to take a prescription painkiller for a few days like Panadol with Codine. Certa
