Doxycycline Hyclate - Diet/Lifestyle Questions

Prescribed 100mg of Doxycycline Hyclate, twice a day, for 10 days, had some questions about diet and lifestyle that the Urgent Care doctor didn't describe to me.

1st question, I don't eat breakfast, so in the morning, I eat a few crackers with a little bit of apple sauce to ease potential stomach problems with the morning dose. Not a full meal, but this won't affect the antibiotic, correct? I'm making sure to drink 2 16oz glasses of water in the morning as well (boy do I love peeing every 30 minutes now).

2nd question, the doctor did say I would be fine drinking a beer or two while using this. On the safe side, I'm waiting 2 hours after taking the pill to have a beer or two before I go to bed, will this cause no difference in the effectiveness?

3rd question, the sun. This one is annoying, I have a fishing trip in 5 days. Doctor and the prescription said to avoid prolonged sun exposure. I'll be wearing an SPF hoodie, long pants, a fishing hat, and sunscreen on any skin left. Don't want to miss out on this lol

Thanks for the help.
