Yeah, it's wise to know which meds (Rx or OTC) play well together. I tell folks they don't want to be the idiot original guitarist from Def Leppard who was dead on his own couch one morning when his girlfriend showed up to check in on him. Codeine and morphine, washed down with a HUGE bender with booze buddies. I refer to it as Suicide By Stupidity. I know the guy had problems (stage fright, panic attacks, and screwed up his back and arms pretty badly over the years) but ffs he was like 32 years old. And had already survived passing out after a concert in Minneapolis, where he registered .39 blood alcohol content in the ER and somehow lived.
Opiates/opioids and alcohol can both act as a respiratory depressant, interfering with the diaphragm until you pass out and slowly stop breathing, and when carousing in groups they like to help each other out. Not a good hobby choice.
