A member asked:
How soon after alcohol can i take vicodin? and vise versa? it says vicodin can stay in your urine for up to 4 days, but is it active that long????

Basics: Alcohol has a half life of 4-6 hrs while Vicodin has a 4 hr half life. It takes ~4 half lives for either to exit the body. Since both are processed by the liver for removal any overlap will delay the removal thereby increasing the functional half life by an unpredictable amount.

No alcohol: Alcohol is a poison that never did anybody any good, ever, so stay away from it. Combination of the medication you are taking and alcohol can be lethal.
