Individual variation can be cause
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting your interesting query at healthcaremagic.
As per my experience with different patients who take SSRI as well as alcoholic beverages around 20- 30 % of them report no effect of alcohol on them while on medication.
However practically speaking it is always better to avoid mixing medications with alcohol as they can have catastrophic effect on brain immediately or in near future. This is because alcohol is CNS suppressant and can cause irreversible damage to brain.
I also like to add that during unavoidable circumstances it is better to skip medication for a day when you intend to take alcohol.
To conclude it can be said that individual variation can be cause for your experience.
I hope this helps you.
Feel free to write back to me if you have more questions.
Thanks and regards.
