Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I understand your doubt. Flagyl(metronidazole)will take at least 48 hours to completely clear from the body so it is advisable to avoid drinks till 48 hours after your last time course of antibiotics. So calculate and proceed.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
