Brief Answer:
Delay for a few hours, no harm in taking now either

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. Delay the medicine for a few hours , let the beer clear the system. even if you take now, won't harm , but no harm in delaying either. Taking beer that much was not wise in first place.

I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
