Drinking alcohol while taking certain medicines can cause problems, especially if you're taking pain medicine, anti-anxiety medicine, or antidepressants.
Problems can range from increased drowsiness (if you are taking cold or allergy medicine) to serious liver damage (if taking high doses of acetaminophen, such as Tylenol or other products containing acetaminophen).
Talk to your doctor if you have any questions about drinking alcohol while taking your medicines.
