Drinking even a little alcohol might not mix well with those overthecounter drugs. Ali gorman has the details tonight from consumer reports. Drinking alcohol while taking medication may be more common than you think. It might be one glass of wine or mimosa. Ive had allergy medicine just a little while ago and ive had a drink. Would i do it again . Yeah, sure. But taking some commonly used drugs while drinking can make the alcohol stronger. In other cases taking medication while drinking can actually increase their effect or cause potentially harmful side effects. For example, antianxiety drugs like valium or ativan taking them with alcohol can cause dizziness drowsiness or slow breathing and increases the risk for overdose. The same for opioids, mixing alcohol with antibiotics such such many overthecounter drugs can also interact with alcohol. Some antihistamines can cause increased drowsiness. Over common pain relievers like advil or tylenol can be dangerous when taken with too many drinks. The health risks of mixing alcohol and medication can especially increase when youre taking more than one drug. Bloop medicines can cause various heart problems when taken with alcohol. And if you are on the blood thinner coumadin and have more than three drinks, it could increase the risk of a stroke. So, if youre on medication, think twice before reaching for that drink.
