Hi,
It is not advisable to consume alcohol while on roaccutane. Consuming alcohol while on roaccutane may cause unpleasant side effects such as fast heartbeats, palpitations, flushing, headache, tingling sensation, nausea, and vomiting. So, avoid drinking alcohol while you are taking roaccutane.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
