There are some forms of antibiotic that don't combine at all well with alcohol. Drinking whilst taking them can render the person unconscious however if that is the case the Doctor and the pharmacist will probably tell you that.

You can drink alcohol with some, but you should always check with your doctor - and don't just take the no answer (though sensible) unless they assure you it will cause harm.
