Mixing Alcohol with Other Drugs and/or Medications

It is never possible to know for sure the effect that mixing alcohol with other drugs will have on a user. There are so many factors that affect the action of the drugs, that it is impossible to accurately consider them all. They include, but are not limited to, the user's mood, body chemistry, other medications or illnesses, and psychological history. Even a medical professional would not be able to say for sure what the effect of an interaction will be.


The most dangerous thing to mix with a sedative (alcohol) is another sedative or "downer". The combination can lead to extreme depression of the Central Nervous System and be fatal. When combined with alcohol these drugs have a synergistic effect, meaning that the combined depression of the CNS is greater than the sum of the depression caused by alcohol and that of the sedative. This effect can be expressed with the equation 1+1=3 (the combined effect is more intense than the separate effects combined).


Alprazolam (Xanax)
Xanax is a sedative and is thus dangerous to combine with alcohol. Using alcohol while taking a sedative hypnotic could interfere with normal breathing and may lead to coma. This interaction may be fatal.

Fast heart rate?
