There is no medical evidence that I am aware of that indicates that any SSRI interacts with alcohol in a harmful way. I've been on a bunch of them and have never noticed any interaction. Lexapro + alcohol is fine--although this of course doens't mean that everyone on lex should drink. Use some logic!
If you're alcoholic, don't drink period, and if you do, don't blame subsequent problems on the antidepressant. You're giving erroneous information out to people who might decide NOT to take the drugs because they want to still be able to have a drink or two.
