Yes, drinking alcohol while taking Paxlovid (nirmatrelvir/ritonavir) is not recommended, even though there’s no direct drug-alcohol interaction.
Avoiding alcohol during your 5-day course of Paxlovid can help:
Prevent liver strain
Minimize side effects
Support your immune system’s fight against the virus
Ensure maximum drug effectiveness

I won't look at any interaction when you mention alcohol, alcohol by itself is a disaster on the liver. IT exhaust the liver, over work and cause fatty liver, cirrhosis. All patients who are on this track end up with liver transplant. Our body is designed for wellness to serve us better for longer.
