Alcohol is a "depressant" therefore it can cause you to react different in situations. It can impair your judgement and reflexes, making you more likely to do something illegal or dangerous. People often lose social inhibitions when drunk, which can include them not keeping their anger in check. The impaired thinking and reflexes also makes it difficult to complete tasks properly, which is why it is illegal to drive while intoxicated.
It suppresses your ADH (anti-diureitc hormone) making you pee a lot, this can cause dehydrating, can cause erratic behaviour. Obesity, withdrawal symptoms.
Chronic drinking of alcohol can lead to liver damage, brain damage, and Heart disease. Drinking while pregnant can be harmful to the fetus, causing stunted growth and metal deficiency.
Alcohol in and of itself is toxic. People, mostly those who participate in binge drinking, have died of alcohol poisoning. A blood alcohol level of 0.5% or greater is usually fatal.

∙ 14y agoAlcohol in excess is a dangerous drug. It destroys brain cells, it destroys the liver, it can damage the kidneys, not to mention the risks for falls, accidents, etc. A drink now and then won't hurt anybody (depending on medical condition). = It's good to drink alcohol as long as you're not making cause of any disturbance. It is called dangerous cause some of the people they were treating alcohol as a normal beverages. But in fact that would cause them into lever cancer and the like. Its good to drink but be polite and just moderately to drink. =

∙ 11y agoAlcohol. Is bad when mixed with ANY drugs. It is great to drink by itself, but when combined with other drugs. Your high goes from nice and steady to blacking out, getting sick and vomiting or making you do stuff that puts you in jail. Drugs are bad by themselves and even worse with alcohol. Say no to Drugs and to Drugs with Alcohol.

Would mixing heroin and interferon cause an overdose?
The mixing of any drugs is extremely dangerous, especially something as strong as heroin. SO you shouldn't do it. But in my unprofessional but educated drug knowlege, i would say its not a lethal combination. Its not like mixing heroin with another downer such as alcohol which can cause your heart to stop. Its mixing an opiate pain killer with a medicine to stimulate immune health and fight cancer. Heroin is very dangerous, trust me, get out of it while u still can.
What kind of impact on the intoxication rate does mixing alcohol with other drugs have?
The impact of intoxication rate by mixing other drugs with alcohol can vary depending on the drugs used. Mixing Adderall, for instance, with alcohol can mask the effect and make a person seem less intoxicated, when they are in fact at the same level of intoxication as they would be without the drug; this can often lead to alcohol poisoning. Mixing Xanax can increase the effect of both the alcohol and the drug causing dangerous side effects.
