Dear SH
Patients are strongly advised to avoid drinking alcohol while taking Zyprexa. Zyprexa has the potential to impair judgement, thinking or motor skills and so patients are cautioned about operating hazardous machinery including automobiles while taking Zyprexa.. Since alcohol also has similar effects on brain, it is recommended not to take them together. I hope this information is helpful to you.
