Alcohol can also decrease the effectiveness of some forms of medication. Making them not work at all. There's a little something else to think about.
Namaste,
You're absolutely right. The most common answer would be that you shouldn't drink at all and the side effects of Zoloft can be enhanced with alcohol consumption, whereas with Nadolol they recommend not consuming any alcohol because it can cause drowsiness.
Remember, some of these warning are placed there primarily to protect the manufacturer from lawsuits.
You're old enough to make your own decisions about your alcohol consumption. I would only recommend that if you choose to drink, do so to a minimum because it can cause problems.
