Is it safe to consume alcohol while eating raw oysters? Is it okay to eat raw oysters and drink alcohol at the same time? I have heard different stories as to whether it is truly a good idea to do this. Some people say that it is not bad, others say that the alcohol can be dangerous with the bacterium (Vibrio vulnificus) contained in shellfish, while some people have told me that the alcohol can actually kill the bacterium contained in shellfish.

Is it safe to drink alcohol and eat raw oysters? If it is okay what drinks go well with oysters?
I do this about once a month and can confirm that it's more than safe, it's delicious. In fact during the 19th century half of London lived on porter and oysters!

I'd recommend oyster stouts, London porters or champagne with them. Stouts and porters are particularly traditional in London
