Consult a doctor, complexly depends and what you are taking, in what dose, and other medications you may be also taking
For example of what may go wrong, I was on medicine recently that has a known side effect of stomach ulcers when mixed with alcohol, so in short lots can go wrong, that said your case you probably would be fine, but talk to a doctor

I would only drink a couple beers when being social. But then you're being social, touching people, laughing, sneezing, alcohol is gonna add to the sinus pressure headaches, etc. Maybe youre at some haus party and grabbing some ice in the freezer for your beverage and now your bacteria is all over ice cubes and by next weekend all your best friends have an infection. Then they start going to other parties. Then they do the same, sharing beer bongs and shit. Then it just exponentially spreads and let's say youre name is Chad. Now you have H1NChad spreading like wildfire across the eastern seaboard all because you chose to not take advice from newschoolers. Now NS is somewhat responsible nad has to be shut down. Do you see the snowball effect of consequence that could happen? I advise you to stay inside and avoid immediate human contact and alcohol for at least the next 10minutes. Then rage like hell. Flush that shit out of you

odds are nothing will happen. Depending on the antibiotic, It will most likely just inhibit their method of action. In other words the antiobiotic wont work and you will just be sick for even longer and have to start a new cycle of antiobiotics which will add to the whole "super pathogen" thing. It sucks not being able to drink during syllabus week, but its probably whats best.
Gotta look a head and try to stay healthy for these things! Emergen-C works miracles when you feel a cold coming on.
Take AND finish your damn antibiotics kids.

if it were pain meds it would be different.
You shouldn't drink with a sinus infection anyway, the hangovers are worse than life itself.

1. Alcohol doesn't inhibit the effectiveness of your antibiotic. (http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-l...-answers/antibiotics-and-alcohol/faq-20057946 )
2. You probably don't need your antibiotic for your sinus infection anyway (http://www.choosingwisely.org/doctor-patient-lists/treating-sinusitis/ )

I would be more worried about the mucinex, depending on which type of mucinex, that can tuck you up (not in the good way). I have drank with antibiotics, and I was fine. First time was with penicillin after my wisdom teeth, stopped taking vicodin in the morning (because it was mew years and I wanted to drink that night). Got smashed relatively easily, took maybe half as much as usual, if that. After that, my friends act like it was common knowledge not to drink with antibiotics (no one told me, and it didn't say on the bottle).
Fast forward to this year, I had a sore throat, campus dr says it looks bad, tests for mono, came back negative, so he gave me cephalexin. I specifically asked about drinking with it, and looked online. Couldn't find anything saying that it was bad or that it would make them less effective. The only thing I could find suggested that partying when you are already sick probably won't help you get better any quicker, which makes sense. Went out every night I was on them except for 1 or 2. Felt better soon after starting them was able to drink just as much with minimal effects. My case might be unique, but I would say it is fine. Again, the mucinex is a much bigger concern

Science!
Unless your antibiotics are in the same class of abxs that metronidazole is in (which is uber unlikely) drinking will not inhibited the effectiveness of the Abx.
About 90% of sinus infections are viral. Odds are the antibiotics are not going to help you anyways.
The worst case scenerio is you have a worse hangover than usually. Drink lots of water. You'll be fine.
