Is It Safe To Be Sexually Active While Having UTI?

I was diagnosed with a UTI a few days ago and have been taking SULFAMETHOXAZOLE - TMP DS TABLETS twice a day for the last three days and was wondering if I can be sexually active with my husband or if I should wait, I am also wondering if I can have a few beers tomorrow at our Christmas Eve party or if alcohol will do anythying to the medication.

Regarding alcohol, u can have it. It will not affect u.
