Why can't I drink after taking antibiotics?

The lesson of a citizen surnamed Dai in Beihai on New Year's Eve may be worth remembering: If you have already taken antibiotics, you'd better endure alcohol addiction. Dai, who lives in Heping District of Beihai City, is an alcoholic. He used to be a soldier in Chenzhou, Hunan Province, and often boasted that "two bottles of white wine were washed all over Chenzhou without rivals". Before the Spring Festival this year, Dai caught a cold and took cold medicine and "Pioneer Six" for several days. Before New Year's Eve, he was afraid that sneezing would affect everyone's mood, so he took two "Pioneer Six" pills and drank a glass of wine. Before he drank two or two glasses of white wine, he immediately felt his heart beat faster and he had difficulty breathing. His family rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment. In the view of Dr. Fan Danshan from Beihai Wanbo Hospital, taking antibiotics and drinking alcohol is tantamount to brewing bitter wine. The pharmaceutical components of cephalosporin antibiotics such as "Pioneer 6" will inhibit the metabolism of alcohol in human body, make alcohol accumulate in the body, damage organs such as liver, kidney and heart, and cause toxic reactions in vivo. Even if a small amount of alcohol is mixed with such drugs, it may lead to poisoning and symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and headache. What needs special reminder is that for most western medicines, don't drink alcohol before and after taking medicine, even fruit wine and beer.
