I am always amazed at the number of posts that any thread with alcohol consumption gets. I appreciate that we all have a lot of advice to offer a young person. I believe that college students need to learn moderation whether on medication or not.
Also, I believe that we bring too many different opinions, advice from doctors, research, reactions to certain meds, etc. to all be on the same page.
Personally, my pdoc says that a couple of glasses of wine are within the limits of not affecting my meds. My t, however, understands that alcohol can be a problem with me and approaches her advice and guidance in a different manner. My t works to help me find solutions to make me healthier in my mind and physical being, while my pdoc approaches my treatments clinically.
The bottom line is that the professionals can help those with bp and on meds to understand what is allowable for them when drinking alcohol and no one should be embarrassed to ask this question.
