Which drink is the best to mix with sleeping pill?

Alcohol drink? None : It can be potentially lethal to combine alcohol with sedating sleep aids. Together these substances reduces activity of the nervous system and lead to respiratory depression and eventually the breathing drive ceases during sleep. The synergistic (or multiplier) effect of the combination makes it unpredictable and inherently very dangerous.
