One drug I am on, Cymbalta, does not intensify the effects of alcohol as some other psych meds do. However, some people in trials had liver failure while on it. So drinking is a risk with this medication. There is no generic "OK" or "not OK" that we can give you. Each person's tolerance and each drug's interaction is different. The best thing to do is to avoid, as alcohol is a depressant. A little drinking in moderation? Better check with doc first. Might not be worth the risk.
I had a beloved aunt who lost her eyesight to diabetes. She told me once, when I was considering taking a piece of candy (I am diabetic too), "It's not that great. It's not worth it." I still remember that. She learned the hard way.
