Just a quick question for you.  I am a 30 year old male who experiences benign PVC's.  My doctor has put me on 25 mg Atenolol twice a day.  I excercise 6 days a week, do not use caffeine or suger and hardly ever drink.  I am getting married in a month and having a bachalor party in the near future.  My question is can you consume alcohol while taking Atenolol.  I am aware of the negetive effects of alcohol and PVC's but this would be a rare time.  I have heard a very mixed opinion from both doctors and pharmacy techs. concerning Atenolol and alcohol.  Any information on this would be much apprciated.  I would also like to thank you  for having this forum and being such an incredible help.
