This is with or without HIV and with or without efavirenz.<\/p>\n<p>You drink enough and everyone will do things they forget the next day. And as we get older, tollerance to alcohol probably goes down so even a few drink can cause this.<\/p>\n<p>Becasue efavirenz can affects your mood it is plausible that the similar mood changes from both alcohol and efavienz, will make side effects fo both drugs worse.<\/p>\n<p>Best practical advice is to be careful when drinking &#8211; maybe a little less with help this problem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, thank you for all the\u00a0 information you provide us. It\u00b4s very useful. My question is: why do I experience amnesia when I drink alcohol?<\/p>\n<p>I\u00b4ve been taking ATRIPLA for about 3 months and I feel very well. But Im a little bit concerned about this effect. Last Saturday I went to a party and drank 5 or 6 glasses of wine (this is a regular amount of wine for me). I usually don\u00b4t get too drunk with it, but when I woke up the next morning, I couldn\u00b4t remember many details of the previous party. <\/p>\n<p>Is this normal? is it a side effect or there\u00b4s something wrong with me.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you very much for your assistance<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,16,38],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11399","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-all-topics","category-drug-interactions","category-side-effects"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11399","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11399"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11399\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11399"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11399"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11399"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
