Toprol and Alcohol?

I'm taking 1 25mg Toprol every night at 8pm. My cardio advised me to take it at night in case it made me tired, which it didn't. I have some parties and weddings coming up and I'm wondering if it's safe to drink alcohol (wine, beer, mixed rum drinks), while taking Toprol?

I just don't want to do something to injure myself. Thanks so much to anyone who can help.

You are taking a very low dose of the beta blocker, so you probably won't notice any difference if you drink alcohol, although it has the potential to make you more drowsy; the beta blocker might not be as effective on your palpitations, either.  If I were you, I'd avoid getting hammered but try to have fun

Thanks Sarita! I've been scared to drink anything with alcohol for fear of not knowing what would happen. I've never been on this type of medication so I wasn't sure what the alcohol interactions were. Thanks so much for helping me!

The following tend to make people prone to palpitations feel them more acutely: alcohol, caffeine, nicotine, lack of sleep, anxiety, and certain medications.  I always found that caffeine and lack of sleep particularly had an effect on me.  Because alcohol is a depressant, it might make your heart beat slower, and like I said it might make you more aware of your palpitations.  But again - I doubt a drink or two would have much an effect!
