There are no interactions between escitalopram and alcohol, however the effectivnesss of the medicine is controlling anxiety might take a hit, since alcohol will worsen anxiety and depression on a longer run. Taking a beer daily I is suggestive of alcohol dependence. So consult a psychiatrist and seek remedy. Good luck.
