Can you take alcohol with vicodin?

Answer 1

Vicodin contains acetaminophen, normally 500mg of it. Drinking alcohol along with acetaminophen can screw up your liver, especially if you drink more than 2 or 3 drinks a day normally. Most of the time and for most people, a glass or 2 of wine, 2 beers, or 2 mixed drinks won't kill you, but it's best to avoid alcohol entirely if you're taking anything with acetaminophen in it--and that's a LOT of different drugs including Tylenol, Excedrin, Vicodin, Percocet, etc. I've done it plenty of times with no harmful effects, but that was when I was young and stupid--it only takes once to kill you.

Drinking alcohol with Valium will intensify the effect of both the Valium and the alcohol. Again, one or two drinks won't kill you, but it might if you're behind the wheel of a car. Best to avoid one or the other.

Answer 2

Vicodin contains 500mg of acetaminophen. Drinking alcohol with acetaminophen can really do a job on your liver so it's best to avoid it, especially if you're a regular drinker (2 or 3 drinks a day) or you tend to overdo it. I've never had a problem, but that was when I was young and stupid. It only takes once to kill you. Google "acetaminophen and alcohol" to give yourself a good scare. safer seperately. a dangerous combo. Awesometown. I suggest listening to Climbing up the walls by Radiohead on a eternal loop until you pass out from wine and vicodin.
Goodnight if you mix those in excess.
Alcohol and Vicodin are both central nervous system depressants. It is dangerous to mix any depressants, as the effect of the two together may be greater than expected. This is called "synergy," and it has killed a lot of experimenters.

Answer 3

Your liver will have to work harder to get the acetaminophen and alcohol combination out of your system. And the alcohol can increase the affects of the hydrocodone. Sounds like a bad hangover to me. I wouldn't mix the two, for your livers sake.
