Can Alcohol Be Consumed While On Medication For H Pylori Infection?

Good afternoon, i was diagnosed with H-Pylori infection, and have been taking Omeprazole DR 20 MG Capsule ( twice daily for 10 days) & Pylera Capsules ( 4 times per day for 10 days) today is my 5h day. aAlthough because of my work schedule its been impossible to actually complete the daily dosage in full, i have been taking them at least 3 times per day. Today i only took my morning dosage at 5am. Aside from slight discomfort i really haven t had any other symptoms, I was diagnosed with H- Pylori once before in 2007 and took some antibiotics but I m not sure if it was the same ones. I would like to know if with the dosage I ve had so far or with the dosage I ve had today (1 of Omeprazole & Pylera Capsules) am i able to consume alcohol? and then begin my regular dosage tomorrow? Im 37 years old, 215lbs, 5 foot 8 inches, over all good health aside from this bacteria and the fact i would and should loose few pounds.
