Alcohol and Prozac/Wellbutrin?

I know it is generally not recommended to consume alcohol while taking these medications or to do so in small quantities, but how bad is it? I don’t drink often (1-2 times a week) and haven’t drank since I started taking these medications. I’m on Prozac and Wellbutrin for depression/anxiety. How bad would it be to have a few drinks one night a week?

Thanks for the question. The combination of these medicines and alcohol is not very well studied. However, I don’t see any issue with one or two drinks periodically.
