You can....I am doing it right now.  Same as you are not suppost to drink while taking pain meds I quess. I feel that you should do whatever makes you feel better, as long as you kick the nasty pill addiction. Don''t go crazy, and don't drink lots all day, but if it makes you feel better to have a beer in the evening after taking a small dose of suboxone in the morning...that is nothing compared to the risks we used to take when addicted to pills... But of course it's better if you do not!

It is crucial for your recovery that you abstain from ALL drugs, including alcohol. Drinking causes respiratory depression, as does suboxone, so when you combine the two they are a very dangerous combo. Not to mention the effects drinking has on your recovery, since it reinforces addict behavior. Sorry don't mean to be a party pooper :(
