Can you drink while on Accutane?

I am about to begin my Accutane course and was wondering how important it is not to drink. Summer break is coming up and that is when I tend to drink a fair amount. I have had several friends who have been on Accutane that drank throughout their entire course. I also rarely drink, its mainly during summer time since I am focusing on school during the fall/spring.
