Is it safe to drink alcohol and have sex while under medication?

Yesterday, my doc gave me a test and found out I have Gonorrhea and a UMI. He gave me 4 pills to take. I don't remember the names. He did not give me any pills to take home though, but he did tell me to return on Monday for a follow-up. As of now, there isn't any yellowy discharge coming from my penis and the stingy sensation during urination is gone. Now my question is, is it safe to drink alcohol? Is it safe to have sex? I should wear a condom should't I? Well I'd love to here some personal inputs and facts. I can't contact my doc as of now that is why I'm posting these questions here. Thx for all your help.

Also, you need to notify your partners from the last month to 2 months as well, and oral sex should be avoided - gonorrhea can infect the throat.

No its not safe to have sex.  You need to wait 7 full days from the day you took the meds.  Did he give you azithromycin?  Do you know the dose?  If you have gonorrhea, its probably resistant to azithromycin, and you would need a different medication.

Alcohol is safe with most antibiotics.  Your doctor would have told you if you couldn't drink.  Keep in mind that if your urethra is still irritated, alcohol will only irritate it more.
