I've been on TB meds for three months, and my recent LFT and creatinine tests came back normal. My doctor adjusted my meds and I'm now taking RCin 600 and Solonex 300 for the next six months. I've got a get-together next week, and I'm wondering if it's okay to drink alcohol just for that day since my liver functions are normal right now. Is it safe, or should I skip the alcohol?
