Is taking a shot of liquor and a perc 5 harmful?

Answer 1

Ideally, you should not consume alcohol with opiates or acetaminophen (especially acetaminophen). That said, the level of harm that the combination causes is proportional to how much you take. Drugs.com says that you should tell your doctor if you drink more than three drinks a day before taking percocet 5/325 and that drinking alcohol with percocet 5/325 can increase your risk for liver damage. It is recommended that people on percocet do not consumer any alcohol.

So the short answer is yes, it is probably harmful. The damage is probably slight, but you may want to reevaluate your reasons for drinking while on percocet. If you are doing it for recreational purposes, consider doing a cold water extraction to limit your acetaminophen consumption.
