I take Wellbutrin and drink cavalierly.
"A little once in a while won't kill you, but if we put that on a warning label we would end up getting sued by the family of some joker who defined 'a little' as four beers and a fifth of vodka" kind of warning?
Pretty much this.
It might be because of alcohol being a depressant.
And also this. I should note that I don't know this for certain, but I feel pretty confident in that guess.
To sum up: you should be fine.
WS, I think that warning is on every AD ever concocted. I personally take it as, drink with caution because there may be synergistic effects. So until you know how alcohol and Wellbutrin play together for you, take it very easy. And yes, alcohol is a depressant. If you're just asking whether you can have a glass of wine, you probably can. But IANAPharmacist.
Ok, thanks, that helps. So the bottle of whiskey I bought for sloshing a bit into mugs of hot cocoa and/or making the occasional hot toddy with, won't have to just sit there forlornly forever.

This has been my experience as well, and also you may feel more drunk with less alcohol than you used, so keep that in mind.
My doctor said that many ADs doubled the impact of booze, and to hold off on drinking until I knew how the meds alone affected me. Then I could add the alcohol back carefully.

This has been my experience. Celexa has made me even more of a lightweight.
On a whim I picked up TJ's Brie en Croute (wrapped in pastry).
Guess what? It's soooo good.
Hot melty brie wrapped in pastry. The French - they are the do that people.

My ex-GF picked this up for a recent casual gettogether at her place and OMG so good. Like, I wish I didn't know about it, good. String cheese, I am not allowed to buy this without adult supervision, good.

This is also my experience when I was on Welbutrin. But I didn't stop drinking, I just cut back, wasn't hard because it took less to get me schnockered anyway.

So one shot of whiskey would be sufficient for getting me through an episode of Venture Brothers. Neat.
