HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Antibiotics are commonly used in persons with a history of asthma.
If you have a history of allergy to this medication then it is possible that it can cause an acute asthmatic attack. If no have no history of problems with this type of medication then you can use it.
There are no specific interactions with alcohol and penicillin but it is normally advised that alcohol use be limited when using antibiotics.
I hope this helps
