Yes it depreses your cognition and alertness, but not nessicarily your mood. Lorazepam is a 'depressant' but not really a mood depressant.
Alchohol should't directly effect the antidepresant responce of Celexa as their actions are on different neurotransmitter systems.
Alcohol is best avoided because in the long term general is no good for general health.
Some people who remain dependant on Alcohol after antidepressant treatment, sometimes respond better to mood stabalizing medication, which tends to have more 'beer effect'
