A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not recommended: Many pain physicians instruct their patients not to consume ANY alcohol while on opioids. The interactions are highly variable, but can be quite serious, including coma and death. In addition, alcohol has drug interactions with a number of medications. Further, activities like driving can be even more impaired. If you cannot do without alcohol while on treatment you may have a problem.Talk to MD
