Alcohol+Opioids=Bad: In general, one should avoid consuming alcohol w/opioids aka narcotics. Check out http://www.drugs.com/food-interactions/acetaminophen-codeine,tylenol-with-codeine-3.html for potential interactions btwn alcohol + acetaminophen (Tylenol) & codeine. With that said, if you're otherwise healthy and only took one dose 7hrs ago, all I will say is no more than 1 drink/d if female or 2 drinks/d if male.
