Alcohol and meds: Alcohol should not be mixed with medications. Alcohol can cause depression and loss of concentration, and also interact with the metabolism of prescribed drugs. Alcohol increases sedation and tiredness caused by seroquel (quetiapine) or other major sedatives. If using alcohol with them only occasionally, most likely effect will last up to 12 hours depending on the amount consumed. Be careful in the future.
