Hi & Welcome.
It is better you avoid taking Alcohol or alcohol containing beverages like beer while taking these medications.
Prilosec is prescribe the heartburn or acidity related stomach problems.
Alcohol or its beverages can reduce the efficacy of these prescribed medications.
So, you can attend the party but avoid taking alcohol till you complete the course of the prescribed medications.
Hope this will help.
