No,it facilicates it

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
No,it will not reduce efficiency of it,and contrary,it may facilitate some effects of abilify and increase your risk of certain Abilify side effects, such as drowsiness or low blood pressure. So it is not recommended to drink alcohol if you take it,or at least reduce it two minimal amounts. Wish you good health. Regards
