I must admit, on my instructions, it advised to avoid alcohol, so I did. But then I read about others in here having wine with phen... so towards the end when I was just using up my spares, I had some and it did not seem to make much difference, but then again I had been using phen for 3 months by then!

I would stay away for a few weeks, but then perhaps try one glass? I don't want to advise you, but everyone is different, so it is personal choice, etc. Like some people get side effects and others don't so it is not "one size fits all" by any means.

Hope that helps and let us know how you go...

My two cents ...........
I have read ppl saying , It actually lessens the effects of alcohol,drink a lot and not feel drunk.Not a good thing really,you could drink so much and get alcohol poisoning and possibly die.

With that said just be careful and take good care of yourself.

If it were me, I would not bother or take a chance. Especially,since you hardly drink anyways.

Quite apart from the fact that alcohol is traditionally an appetite stimulant, so why bother?? I usually eat more when I drink! hehe

The instructions advise that you stay away from alcohol. I would imagine for the main reason that your body is going to burn the alcohol calories first.

I drank while on Phen. Not often, but I did. I actually had the opposite effect. Much less made me must more woosey....
