Alcohol and SSRIs are not a recommended combination but many people still drink on them. I found that social drinking (even the smallest amount) while on Effexor made for a very bad combo with me. I'm normally a reserved person but I became a very different (more agressive, obnoxious, etc.) person when I mixed the two. I also had really bad blackouts and often got sick. Each person reacts differently with different meds. I seem much better on Lexapro.
