Sertraline & Alcohol/Ibuprofen ?

Question

Asked for Female, 21 Years

I just started taking sertraline for my anxiety, about ten days ago. I was prescribed 1 25mg tablet per day. I'm a woman, turning 21 tomorrow, and am on vacation with my family. My doctor's office is very difficult to get ahold of and I haven't heard back for days. I just wanted to know if I am able to drink while taking this medication. I mean maybe a glass of wine or two, not binge drinking or anything heavy - just little to celebrate with my family. If anyone has any thoughts, please let me know! I've also been wondering about the safety of taking ibuprofen while on sertraline, as acetophinamen generally doesn't do much for me. Thanks!
