Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if alcohol is able the affect the body's ability to
eliminate two commonly used medication, oseltamivir and aspirin. We hypothesize that drinking
alcohol may reduce the body's ability to break down these two medications along with many
others.This could affect the amount of drug in the blood which could impact how well these
drugs work and whether patients have side effects.
