If you are on antibiotics for a chest infection and start drinking again when it clears, will alcohol cause it?

Alcohol will not cause a chest infection. Just make sure you finish the antibiotics. BTW only a very few antibiotics need you to avoid alcohol.

synthetic antibiotics are unaffected by alcohol, alcohol prevents normal antibiotics from working.

no alcohol doesn’t cause chest infection but can predispose you to one

When you take anti biotics, you must complete the course not stop when it clears. If you drink alcohol during a course of antibiotics, you should resume taking them after your night out.

That’s a difficult question. Of course it depends on whether we’re talking about a glass of wine, or a whole night on the town, out in the cold, bad food and getting absolutely p*ssed. In the first case, no it won’t return because of the alcohol. In the latter case, yes it will probably return because after an infection your immune defenses are down and putting yourself out like that will make you very vulnerable to having the infection return or another illness come.
