Never: Alcohol is a poison and it never did any body any good, ever. Stay away from alcohol. It is more toxic to women than it is to men. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex. Get HPV vaccine.

4-6 hours IF: you are not talking about taking EXCESSIVE amounts of alcohol. Codeine is a relatively short-acting drug, and after a 15-30 mg dose, most of it should be metabolized to inactive metabolites within 6 hours. However, in higher doses (of either codeine or alcohol) it may cause more problems. The combination of alcohol and opioids (including codeine) increases the chance of side effects and sedation.
