DOSE:
20 mg oral Pharms - Citalopram (daily)
  3 glasses oral Alcohol - Beer/Wine (liquid)
This is something I noticed more than an actual experience.

I was recently put on Celexa for anxiety. Despite the new medication, I wasn't really worried about continuing to smoke marijuana, drink alcohol, or use any other drug. I've always had a pretty average tolerance for alcohol. I'm not a lightweight, but I don't drink so often that I need a ton of booze either.

But after my body adjusted to the Celexa (this was only after being on it for a week), I noticed my alcohol tolerance go waaaay down. I had a great buzz on just 3 Mike's Hard Lemonades (5% alc/volume). It probably wouldn't have taken many more before I was really drunk.

Some might see this as a bad thing, but who wouldn't wanna get drunk faster if they could?
