Brief Answer:
It is and absolute NO!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

It is a big NO NO. Alcohol and metronidazole would make you feel so terrible. This causes a drop in blood pressure, dizziness, general body malaise, etc. I strongly recommend you stay off alcohol during this treatment for these reasons.

I hope this helps. I wish you well and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
