Flagyl Antibiotics\Alcohol

Guys,
Anyone ever take these? I think it's pretty obvious that you shouldn't drink whilst taking them. I was told that quite a few times by the chemist. When i got back, i looked them up on the internet, and I seen that you should wait for the drug to be out of your system.

The time seems to vary from 2 to 3 days at least.

I'm off on holiday next week, and just curious if I finish on Saturday evening taking the last one. What day would I be able to have a few drinks. Monday? Tuesday?

Before anyone thinks I'm treating this lightly, i have no intention of drinking whilst taking these. I've seen it can lead to death in some cases.

Is 2 days accurate?

Obviously check the leaflet again and if in any doubt, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.

If it say 3 days, that means 72 hours form the last tablet to the first drink and even then, take it easy on the drink for the first few days. The last thing you want is to be (different) sick again or worse, have an accident or incident.

you need to talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
