: Hi Lynda,

: It depends both how much she drinks and the amount of drugs she is taking, but getting drunk while taking narcotics is not a great idea.

: I don't drink anymore, but I have to admit to doing this once. I mixed a lot of alchahol with a lot of oxycodone, and I don't think I've ever been sicker. My eyes couldn't focus properly for about a week either, so there was probably some degree of poisoning.

: You should try and at least make her aware of the dangers of this practice, particularly if she is taking large doses.

: Best wishes,
: Mark

Thank You all for your info. I just don't think it's a good idea to drink and take all those meds. She takes 8 or 10 or these pills a day and she was drinking vodka shooters....I called her back and gave her a word to the wise...In fact, I gave her a good talking to. A drink or two, I can see, but she was drunk as a skunk...again, thank you all so much for your responses....
