There is no 'do not drink alcohol' warning that applies to taking clindamycin because it doesn't specifically affect the medicine itself. However, if you feel unwell with your infection, or if you find clindamycin gives you an upset stomach, then drinking alcohol could make this worse.
My personal recommendations is do not used, but at present time I do not see any restrictions when you use moderate alcohol. It you have upset stomach do not use.
