Question 1

I just took vicodin and had beer earlier. is this bad?

Accepted Answer

Mixing opiods with other medications or alcohol has additive potentially harmful sedating effects. If you took one vicodin and drank one beer, probably not much of an issue, but don't make this a habit.

Question 2

How long after drinking 3 beers can i take my vicodin?

Accepted Answer

This is a loaded question, no pun intended. Mixing opiates with alcohol can be dangerous, particularly if you don't normally use them. Technically 3 drinks will take 3 hours to metabolize but will leave you tired and still subject to Vicodin's now augmented sedating properties. The combination can also degrade your judgment. Without more info I can only advise don't take both in the same day.

Question 3

I smoked method and had a couple vicodin pills with a beer am i safe? i feel okay

Accepted Answer

what smoking method is??  But vicodin plus alcohol is NOT a  safe combination.

Question 4

Is it possible for me to have one vicodin and 4 beers?

Accepted Answer

I'm sorry to say that we know so little about you it's impossible to say how you would react. In general doctors are not in the  position to comment on the mixture of social and or illegal drugs. That would mean whether they are illegally or even legally obtained or used . Our job is to comment on the therapeutic use of drugs. Both vicodin and beer are legal you might ask the prescribing physician.

Question 5

My partner 43 takes permanent vicodin for chronic pain . she drinks average 6 bottles a beer a day . will this affect her health and mental wellbeing?

Accepted Answer

Your partner should not be mixing narcotics with alcohol.  She also dhould not drink that much alcohol as it could affect her liver.  Chronic narcotics also increases her tolerance for narcotics. She should talk to a pain specialist to try something better. She needs to be proactive and learn about the risks of long term alcohol and narcotics.

Question 6

How long after drinking one beer is it safe to take one 5/500 vicodin?

Accepted Answer

No systematic studies have been done to answer your specific question. So it cannot be answered with certainty. However the various factors that affect the safety would be the size of the one beer, a person's individual metabolism and where this is happening (e.g., home? Outside? Etc.) When used in large amounts combination of opiates and alcohol can be deadly. Please stay safe and don't combine.

Question 7

Girlfriend 43 takes permanent vicodin, sural nerve removed. she drinks average 6 bottles of beer a day. how does this effect her mental and physical?

Accepted Answer

Certainly the combination of both a narcotic pain reliever on top of 6 beers a day is not recommended at all.By definition, your girlfriend would be an alcoholic drinking 6 beers a day. I recommend she get into a certified multidisciplinary pain clinic where she can get her pain addressed and as well see a physician to treat her alcoholism. If not already, they will eventually cause harm.Good luck.

Question 8

Girlfriend  takes 3 to 4 500mg vicodin a day for  permanent chronic pain.  sural nerve removed. drinks 6 beers a day and cigarettes. is health at risk?

Accepted Answer

Your girlfriend is slowly killing herself. There is a good chance her pain problems are going to get worse and worse and she may already be addicted to pain meds.

Question 9

I'm 85, quite healthy and will have a vicodin or anaprox (naproxen) three or four hours after a second or third beer. problem?

Accepted Answer

Anaprox (naproxen) you can wash down with beer, if really want to--but have something on your stomach to avoid upset. Think of each vicodin as about 2 drinks (if small build + being older, perhaps 3)--if you would not feel in control / steady after a couple - three beers + 3, then wait. Usually each drink (1oz ethanol equivalent) metabolized in just over an hour, so 3hrs after 3 beers almost like no beers.

Question 10

Is it ok to have a beer if i'm taking norco (hydrocodone and acetaminophen)?

Accepted Answer
