I think that the problem in mixing alcohol and SSRIs is not liver damage or things like this but an increased effect of alcohol in most cases. I had a couple of very stupid motorbike accidents mixing the two, and I didn't realized how much I was impaired, while I usually know if I'm drunk and not able to drive. So I don't think it's a big problem if you have a couple of drinks, but you have to know that your response to alcohol can be different from usual and that you could not realize it while drinking. So, if you plan to go to sleep after drinking, I think that it's not a big risk, but you have to think about it before starting drinking because a drink with SSRI can be the same that three drinks without.
