The dilator and wire are then removed, and the peritoneal dialysis catheter is placed on the stylet and advanced through the sheath.

Usually, no. Alcohol doesnât reduce the effectiveness of most antibiotics. However, alcohol can worsen side effects caused by some antibiotics, like dizziness or an upset stomach. You should definitely avoid drinking alcohol while taking metronidazole (Flagyl), as this combination can cause severe nausea and vomiting.
Most antibiotics can be mixed with moderate amounts of alcohol with no problem. At most, they'd enhance some of the antibiotics' secondary effects like dizziness - but it's unlikely to happen if you don't suffer from any of these effects and don't overdrink. Some antibiotics (like metronidazole and TMP-SMX) can have a stronger reaction to alcohol, causing headaches and nausea. But even then, alcohol doesn't reduce the antibiotics' effectiveness. Now, what alcohol (especially in large quantities) will do is slow the healing process.
