it depends on how much beer your husband drinks. some antidepressants can make people drowsy and it is suggested that you not combine these with alcohol. however everyone responds differently. it is usually safe to have one drink while taking most of the antidepressants. but if your husband drinks a lot of beer he really should talk to his doctor. if you suspect your husband has a drinking problem you should seek help for him. drinking a lot of alcohol can be a sign of depression or make depression worse. once he gets his depression symptoms treated he may not want to drink as much. this is a very complex issue and you really need to get the help of a health-care professional who can treat the situation.
we think my husband is depressed. he doesn't want to quit drinking beer. can he do that and take antidepressants?
