It would be a really stupid decision to drink with Vicodin…..I have actually heard it of killing people…..it is a deadly mix……if you do then instead of waking up tomorrow trashed you may not wake up at all!

2 or 3 beers and 1 pill is’nt bad. just watch out for the cumulative effect from taking it every day. Previous poster is right tho about it being a very addictive practice. Anything that feels that good makes real life seem dull. Easy to get used to the feeling. And pain pills to a lot of people really just makes the pain dull but still there. Therefore you still feel it and want to keep taking pills. Lots of genuinely injured peole get hooked this way.

It may not effect you right at the moment that you Will notice, but both are hard on the liver and mixed can cause damage that you know nothing about until years down the line when you end up with hepatitis. One of the heps is caused from abuse to the liver, not sex or sharing needles. Do your research. If the bottle says no alcohol, then you need to heed the warning.

Everyone acts different to mixtures of alcohol and narcotics. These are the effects of alcohol…
diarrhea
· upset stomach
· anaemia(loss of red blood cells)
· red, blotchy, or dried out skin
· increase skin acne problems
· headaches (loss of fluid in the brain)
· decreased perception and coordination
· slowed reflexes and mental processes
· loss of consciousness
· black outs (memory lapses)
LONG TERM EFFECTS
· cirrhosis of the liver
· malnutrition
· cancer of the mouth and throat
· increased stomach acid
· gastritis (inflamation of stomach walls)
· ulcers
· pancreatitis
· increased blood pressure
· weaken muscle fibre
· weakness of bones
· dependence
Not bad compared to the effect of mixing vicodin with alcohol. Hmmm. Lets just say if you wanna take the chance of falling flat on your face dead. DO IT…

They advise not to do them together for a few purposes. One being that it destroys your liver. The acetemetophine in Vicodin puts a strain on your liver and coupled with alcohol your body is having to work overtime to cleanse itself. The second reason is the impaired judgment the combination would produce. Vicodin is strong enough on its own to work as a painkiller, there is no need to combine it with alcohol except in the case of abusing the drug, and the medical industry does everything it can to prohibit that.
I have taken vicodin with alcohol before, and I’m still alive and thriving. But don’t do it on a regular basis unless you feel like completely trashing your liver.
