Is it dangerous to drink a lot on sertraline?

So recently I'm feeling the worst of the worst. Mainly because I did go out on Saturday night and had quite a lot of drinks. I'm no alcohol addict but the next day I felt super anxious and depressed. I take 50mg sertraline. Today I thought I was at the end of my life. Is it dangerous to drink when taking sertraline? Thanks

Hi I am on 150 mgs of sertraline and I drink. But I stick to a maximum of 3 pints of lager as I notice I get drunk too easily. Also don't forget alcohol itself is a depressant.

Also the more you drink the more you use the toilet so the med flushes out of your system quicker.
