Is it safe to drink alcohol if I'm taking antibiotics for an infection?

It depends on the type of antibiotic you are taking and your overall health. If you are taking a broad-spectrum antibiotic, such as penicillin or cephalosporin, then it is generally safe to drink alcohol while taking these medications, since they do not affect the liver. However, some types of antibiotics can be metabolized by the liver, so it's best to consult with your doctor before drinking any alcohol while taking these medications.
