I know alcohol is a depressant and can react badly with medication. I ask because I would love to have a glass of wine with a meal when out ( not that I do so often, just if I'm particularly bright ) so would be a rare pleasure, but not worth it if it puts me back x

I think a glass or two of wine is ok with most psych drugs, in fact tho I'm a small drinker I feel nice & mellow with a glass!!! Xxxx

In my opinion just a glass of wine probably wouldn't be bad as long as you could keep it to one glass. Also make sure that you aren't taking a medication at or around the same time that alcohol could react with.
