I'm glad you don't drink much, because alcohol makes bipolar illness worse,
my psychiatrist told me. But we're all different in our reactions, so it's a decision you alone can make.
Frankly, I wouldn't do it because it's risky. It may have worked once and
might not work the next time, or you may get along fine with two drinks.
You're thinking about having more than two even though you're taking somewhat
strong dosages of at least two meds. The side effects of that could be
more serious than becoming sleepy. You could pass out or go into a coma,
depending on the sensitivity of your system and drug interaction with alcohol.
It's a personal decision and one I'd think about carefully.
Why not look up "black box" side effects of the medications you take and the
drugs' interaction with alcohol? That may help you make a sound decision.
Good wishes and have a safe and Happy 21st Birthday!
