A member asked:

Is it possible for cranberry juice and vodka to act as safe numbing agent to fight the pain from kidney stones?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Vodka: The alcohol content of vodka may numb the pain of passing a kidney stone but there are better options. I don't think cranberry juice has been shown to decrease stone formation.

I have been taking 20mg of Prozac daily for 4 weeks. A friend came to visit and I indulged in a pint of hard cider (8%) and 2/3 of a glass of cranberry juice and vodka. Will I overdose or die? I read scary things online and am panicking?
