I would talk to your doctor about it, for sure. This is a very important issue. Different doctors may have different takes on the issue also... I told both my T and my pdoc about an occasional drink and they didn't "scold" me. Your doc may think differently.

I think the most important thing to remember is that alcohol is a DEPRESSANT. It makes you feel "good" in the short term but overall it is contributing to your depression state and is counteracting the effects of any anti-depressants you may be taking.

It also effects your sleep... it may help you fall asleep faster but it puts you into a very light state of sleep with a lot of intermittent waking, so you body doesn't get the "real" sleep it needs. Sleep can be a crucial factor with depression, and if depression is causing sleep problems on its own, alcohol can make it even worse.

Finally, along with any advise you get here, you should still talk to your doc about YOUR specific meds... some may have particular reactions with alcohol that can't be generalized.

My general theory of intake of ANYTHING is "a little bit in moderation isn't going to make or break a deal" but when you have something going on in your body that needs attention it may pay to be a little extra careful... be somewhat more conservative about your definition of "moderation" or maybe even abstain completely.
