Alcohol combines with many medicines in what is known as "synergistic effect," which can make the combination stronger than either chemical on its own. This is especially dangerous when the medicine is also a central nervous system depressant.
In some cases, alcohol can also reduce the effect of medications. Always follow the directions that come with your medicine.
