In many medicines they advise the patient not to take with alcohol. What are the actual consequences of doing so? For example if you took some paracetemol for a headache what would be the consequence of drinking alcohol later that day?

Re: Drugs and alcohol
Most of the time it is the 'overload' on the liver where alcohol and lots of drugs are metabolised. Sometimes there are drug interactions, where the metabolic pathway for alcohol is blocked (metronidazole + alcohol). In other cases it is the additive CNS depressant effects. Sometimes its all of them!Originally posted by pinky 2 View Post
Measuring alcohol consumption is peculiar. Cutting down for one person might mean having 5 pints instead of 10.47 BC : Julius Cesar : Veni Vidi Vici : I came, I saw I conquered.
2018 AD : Modern Man : I shopped, I clicked, I collected.
How times change.
