I drank when I was on Olanzapine without any problems, but that doesn't mean it won't affect you somehow. Although, I think once I got a bit angry after drinking heavily, which is not at all like me.
When I was on Abilify, drinking would make my voices worse the next day.
I don't think stopping the meds to drink is the right call though, better the other way around...
I'd keep taking it & just drink as lightly as you can if you feel you must drink.
Here's a psych central Q&A that might help...
