What are the risks of drinking alcohol (~3 drinks) with oxycodone(not abusing, chronic pain, 30-50mg daily) and is there anything i can do to mitigate?

detox hotlines: Call aa/na hotline, or 1 855 detox 00 if you feel like stopping dependency provoking drugs. You may need detox, and stopping on your own may cause severe withdrawals including seizures in some cases. Stay clean.

Mitigate = no EtOH: Etoh = alcohol. If' you're taking oxycodone, you should completely avoid alcohol. It can be a lethal combination. Best way to "mitigate" these risks is not to take them at all! as my colleagues have mentioned, others have used alcohol and pain meds and died.
