A drug has to travel through the bloodstream to the site in the body where it is to have its desired effect. The drug's effects then diminish over time, as it is processed and eliminated from the body. Alcohol behaves in a similar fashion, traveling through the bloodstream, before being processed and eliminated, primarily by the liver. The extent to which each dose of any drug reaches its site of action may be termed its availability. Alcohol can influence the effectiveness of a drug by altering its availability. A single drink of alcohol or several drinks over some hours may prevent a drug's metabolism by competing with the drug for the same processing sites within the liver. This type of interaction prolongs the drug's availability, and may increase the risk of side effects from the drug. On the other hand, chronic alcohol abuse may cause an increase in the liver's ability to process the drug, thus decreasing availability and reducing its effects. This effect may persist for several weeks after stopping drinking. To complicate matters further, a drug may affect the way in which alcohol is broken down, increasing the risk of becoming intoxicated.

As an Army Medic, I feel compelled to point out that one of the main reasons alcohol consumption while on antibiotics is not recommended is due to the fact the some antibiotics are metabolized in the liver as well as alcohol. The purpose in this situation is to prevent your liver from over working and causing complications later in life.
