You can drink as much as you like taking penicillin......... all that happens is that the increased urine output due to drinking leads to you pi$$ing the penicillin out of your system.

There is a drug called Probenecid that blocks excretion of penicillin into the urinary tract but I doubt if your GP will prescibe it out of sympathy ...LOL
