Q: Alcohol & Allopurinol

My brother who incidentally is also a bartender and habitually involved in alcoholic drinks is on treatment with allopurinol. I have heard that alcohol and allopurinol do not mix well together, and told this to him, but he refuses to listen. Can anyone here support my views?

Only interaction I know of
Drinking alcoholic beverages increases the removal of allopurinol from the body, thereby reducing the effectiveness of the drug.
