Alcohol may give temporary relief to the symptoms of depression, but if you're on an antidepressant, it's generally recommended to stay away from alcohol (via Mayo Clinic). Combining an antidepressant with alcohol may increase depression symptoms. Additionally, if you take other medications and antidepressants, drinking alcohol can increase side effects. Common side effects include drowsiness and difficulty concentrating, leading to an impaired ability to perform certain activities like driving.

酒精可以暂时缓解抑郁症状，但如果你正在服用抗抑郁药，一般建议远离酒精。抗抑郁药与酒精混合可能会增加抑郁症状。此外，如果你正在服用其他药物和抗抑郁药，饮酒也会增加副作用。常见的副作用包括嗜睡和难以集中注意力，导致执行某些活动(如驾驶)的能力受损。

According to Mayo Clinic, while some antidepressants may not pose as much of a risk when combined with alcohol, others can be riskier. For instance, an antidepressant called a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) can cause a dangerous increase in blood pressure when taken with alcohol. However, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, some doctors generally maintain that it's okay to consume alcohol moderately while on antidepressants. Moderate drinking means one drink per day for women and two for men. This should only be permitted once you understand how your body is affected by your antidepressant, though.

根据梅奥诊所的说法，虽然一些抗抑郁药与酒精混合时可能没有那么大的风险，但其他药物的风险则会很大。例如，一种被称为单胺氧化酶抑制剂(MAOI)的抗抑郁药在与酒精一起服用时会导致严重的血压升高。然而，根据国家精神病联盟的说法，一些医生普遍认为在服用抗抑郁药的同时适度饮酒是可以的。适度饮酒是指女性每天不超过一杯，男性每天不超过两杯。不过，只有当你了解了抗抑郁药对身体的影响后，才允许这样做。
