It is a good blanket statement because you can’t leave it up to the average person to know when it is ok and when it isn’t ok to drink with a med. Take the example of alcohol and Tylenol. People pop that combination all the time, but it is said over and over again how that combination can kill your liver. It probably has a warning on the bottle, but I don’t have a bottle to check it right now. Too many people think OTC pain killers are like eating candy, they don’t consider a serious medicine. Then there are drugs like bensos and narcotics and some others that when combined with alcohol cam kill you within hours of ingesting them.
@Coloma A lot of people are winding up dead from accidental overdose. They don’t understand the combination of those types of drugs can surpress respiration so much they die in their sleep. Brain just forgets to breath. Sanjay Gupta recently did a report on it because President Clinton asked him to do somethng after two young men, sons of friends of his, died within a few months of each other from accident overdose.
