After taking the first two doses of the antibiotic, I drank 4 beers, I took the next dose in the evening and I should take it in the morning. Should I continue the treatment, or it won't work any more?

Discontinuation of antibiotic therapy makes it easier for bacteria to develop resistance to medications. It can be unwise and sometimes even life-threatening to combine an antibiotic with alcohol. Antibiotics remain in the blood serum for a certain period of time, it depends on the speed of their metabolism and excretion from the body. I think the treatment should be completed but the efficacy may be slightly less.
