Drink with Painkillers

stiffler · April 11, 2008, 04:13:39 PM

Does anyone know the truth about taking alcohol whist on painkillers? I have heard that it makes you drunk twice as quick, although i think that may be a little excessive.

Im for Liverpool for the weekend, and am currently on painkillers after spraining my ankle last nite, I dont wanna go teetotal all weekend, but i dont wanna be legless either. Is it safe to take a few casual pints, or should i leave the painkilers behind?

Don't mix. One or the other mate.

So what you want? A few drinks to relax or.. well pain?

The thing is stiffler my oul china if you get enough juice down your throat you wont feel the pain from your ankle. Smirnoff is the finest painkiller known to man.

stay off the painkillers!!!!
drink and drugs dont mix

Just head to ServiceAir anyway. I'm assuming you are flying from the International.

ServiceAir is just at the edge of the check-ins, before you head through to the corridor that takes you to Departures.

Anyway, I'm about the International tomorrow morning. If you see me, say hello!

Only thing I'm thinking.. you mightn't be allowed them on the plane. You'll have to chec k when you get to the airport.

Speaking from experience I would have to say leave the painkillers behind and the hit the soup! Was on anti-imflammatories a while back, went on the beer a few nights, got very drunk and sick on not that much drink...I put it down to the medication especially after some questions from the lads about my ability to drink! They dont mix well at all.

it depends on the pain killers prescribed.
of the over the counter drugs: paracetamol or ibuprofen- won't affect drinking
anything codeine based- drink should be avoided.
prescription medicines are different so would need to know the name of drug
