Suppresses breathing: Alcohol intoxication causes a suppression in breathing, Benadryl (diphenhydramine) does the same. Added together, they can be a lethal combination causing your breathing to fall to such a low rate that your brain does not get enough oxygen. I would avoid taking these together.
