Yeah thats just the jumps though, about 1000 quid in the UK for the course, then you need to get yourself a chute and gear which is another 1000 quid or so.

An expensive hobby, definately worth it though.

Question
Antibiotics and alcohol: Should I avoid mixing them?
I'm confused. What are the effects of drinking alcohol while taking antibiotics? Some antibiotics carry a warning to avoid alcohol. But others don't. So is it really necessary to avoid mixing antibiotics and alcohol?
Answer
from James M. Steckelberg, M.D.

The effects of combining antibiotics and alcohol can vary, depending on the specific antibiotic.

Alcohol doesn't diminish the effectiveness of most antibiotics. However, antibiotics and alcohol can cause similar side effects, such as stomach upset, dizziness and drowsiness. When you combine antibiotics and alcohol, these side effects may increase.

A few antibiotics — such as metronidazole (Flagyl), tinidazole (Tindamax) and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim) — should not be mixed with alcohol because this may result in a more severe reaction. Drinking any amount of alcohol with these medications can result in side effects such as flushing, headache, nausea and vomiting, rapid heart rate, and shortness of breath. Keep in mind that some cold medicines and mouthwashes also contain alcohol. So check the label and avoid such products while taking these antibiotics.

Rarely, alcohol can reduce the effectiveness of certain antibiotics — such as doxycycline (Vibramycin, Doryx) — which means a higher dose may be required to achieve the same treatment benefit.

Keep in mind that alcohol can reduce your energy and delay how quickly you recover from illness. So, it may be best to avoid alcohol until you have finished your antibiotics and are feeling better.

Oh right, I see what you mean. Chutes seem to cost a fortune, like 3k+ I thought. I don't really know though, because it's very difficult to find information about it online. Still, even if you don't own your own gear you can jump super cheap, like 30 quid a pop or something. Long term, yeah, I want my own gear

Yeah, after u qualified the jumps are cheap, the 1000 quid is for a second hand chute, most schools will sell you one after you finish ur course, not a brand new one. A brand new one is probably 3k or more.

A single tandem jump is 225 euros. I kinda wish it was possible to do part of the course and do one solo jump, but oh well.

Fuck that, I could do the AFF course twice for the same money. Holland is rather overpriced when it comes to driving.
