If I take vicodin with alcohol, is it dangerous?

Yes.

When you got it, it should have had a warning saying not to mix them on the bottle.

Is that you House?

Avoid drinking alcohol while taking Vicodin.

Yeah usually if you mix drugs with alcohol it is.

The Rx bottle will be plastered about warnings re; alcohol. I assume that you do not have an eye condition?

Never mix pain pills and booze

No, you should not mix them. Both are CNS depressants. To make matters worse, Vicodin contains acetominophen (Tylenol) which itself should not be taken with alcohol because of potential liver damage.

Did you even read the warning label on the bottle? I doubt it’s there for decoration…..

Are you in a lot of pain? Is that why you’re wondering?

its more Are you trying to kill yourself?

I heard that leg infarctions are extremely painful.

But mixing narcoics and alcohol is a horrible idea. Especially if the painkillers are new to you.

If you’re trying to kill yourself, I could think of worse ways.

But assuming you’re not I would be very, very careful with that.

Only if you consider respiratory arrest dangerous.

It doubt it will hurt you too much. Pills and alcohol go together like peanut butter and jelly.
Maybe if you were shooting morphine and drinking you might quit breathing but a few beers and a 7.5 hydrocodone x 500 apap will not make you keel over. The worst thing is the acetaminophen and alcohol on your liver and kidneys. I have always had the motto “Kill the liver.”

^ that is some stupendously bad advice.

buster, you know i have nothing but love for you, so i’m going to assume you’re just joking, and not assume that you read jasongarret’s link to vicodin’s drug facts and then just wrote exactly the opposite of what it said, because that’s kind of what it sounds like…

What is “danger” really anyway? :^>

YES, you should absolutely avoid even a little alcohol while taking Vicodin or any other narcotic painkillers. I realize that alcohol is a type of “anesthetic” for the pain in addition to the painkillers but having both in your system at the same time can cause liver damage, breathing problems to the point of respiratory arrest, and other major side effects that could possibly kill you. That’s why there’s warning labels on your prescription bottle. Many people simply ignore the warnings and drink alcohol anyway but is it really worth the risk? I hope your answer is “No.”
