Can I drink alcohol on medication?

Hello, I am on metronidazole gel, and fluconazole-2 doses. My sister's birthday is tomorrow, I am wondering if I can drink alcohol. What would be the chances of side effects etc?

The short answer is NO. Fluconazole is used to treat serious fungal/yeast infections, and drinking alcohol will reduce its effects and increase the risk of interactions and side effects.
