How much time do you have to wait to drink alcohol after sleeping pills?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Alcohol & sedatives: Depending on the sleeping pills, drinking alcohol can be extremely dangerous, even life-threatening. It is recommended not to drink alcohol at all if you are taking sleeping pills regularly, especially benzodiazepine, barbiturates, or benzo-like medications.
