Often, SSRIs in particular but psych meds in general lower your tolerance to alcohol. Ever since I have been on Lexapro I can't drink that much. After two drinks I feel drunk and hungover at the same time! Not to mention the hideous headaches for 24 hours after I drink. If your meds are working, just count your blessings and go easy on the booze, alcohol can have some incredibly destructive effects (I am living proof! :)) if you drink a lot.
