Would it be OK to have one small glass of wine while taking these tablets?

Our walking group are out for a meal together and it would be nice to have just the one glass.

Thanks.

    I have been on 20mg Cit for 9 years and drink around half bottle wine 3 times a week. I do notice it goes to my head more and sometimes I feel a bit down the next day. But one glass should be absolutely fine.

    You should be fine, but test it at home at some point before you go out. The first time I had a glass of wine on 20mg, it was as if I'd had a full bottle. Very glad I was at home with hubby for that one. Since then, I've been fine with a full glass. Have fun!

    I agree. The first few times you'll find that you feel like you have had a few more glasses. Cheap night out lol. I have a few glasses a week and am fine 😊
