Zoloft makes the buzz alcohol gives ya stronger and also speeds up this process in your brain chemisty that if ya drank one glass you wanna go for more, it amplifies the working of alcohol in some ppl so also its addictive effects. This hasn't been described much in official medical literature (of course not, pharmaceutical industries do everything to keep such knowledge from the public) but many ppl who were/are on Zoloft have experienced such thing.
On crazymeds.org I found some that could be of interest for any of you, tho:

Interesting Stuff Your Doctor Probably Won't Tell You: Unlike most antidepressants, mixing booze and Zoloft (sertraline hydrochloride) will get you drunker. Maybe, the PI sheet contradicts itself on this point. In the real world the anecdotal data I've collected is that Zoloft does get you drunker. So of course the oral concentrate is suspended in alcohol and you can't use that if you're taking Antabuse.

Pros: Zoloft is less likely than any SSRI but Lexapro to give you the common tummy problems. And they often aren't as bad. So if those are an issue and Lexapro is too expensive, you can get generic sertraline from Canada.
Cons: Probably the worst SSRI to take if bipolar is known or suspected. Definitely the worst to have taken if bipolar was a surprise.
