Thanh,
Define "bit" ...
Atenolol is a beta-blocker. Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) is a diuretic. Novasen is asprin.
None of these medicines should should cause a problem for for most people who drink less than 1-2 drinks per day. HCTZ can be associated with hyponatremia (low blood sodium) in persons who drink "too much", where "too much" varies person to person.
Aspirin and alcohol are both associated with the development of peptic ulcers. So certainly the combination can increase the risk of ulcer development.
Hope that helps.
