It's hard to find statistics on all alcohol-related accidents but there are many answers on drink-driving deaths, it seems to be around 14,000 a-year (I think that's in the US). In my personal experience I know of a few instances of alcohol-related deaths, a former boss of mine died recently when he fell down the stairs drunk and a girl from my school fell out of a window also drunk and died.

No, you want to avoid alcohol with this medicine. Fluconazole has been known to cause liver damage in some cases. Alcohol damages the liver in all cases. You don't want to run the risk of further liver damage by drinking while you are taking this medicine.

Drinking excessively whilst on any prescripted drug is not usually recommended, yet for this particular drug risk is low. I would advise you to drink moderately but nonetheless if you were to overindulge, if you are otherwise a healthy person and not taking any other medication prohibiting telling you otherwise then risk is low. The main worry is that when you are drunk your defenses are weaker and thus the risk of slowing down the effectiveness of the drug is increased.

Estimates vary, but the average seems to be in the area of 3 to 4 times the risk of an accident over drivers who are not drinking. The same statistics, BTW, hold for people who talk on the phone while driving, and they are about twice that for people who text and drive.

The reformers of the temperance movement believe that problems like the breaking up of families, insanity, and crimes were caused by the use of alcoholic beverages.

Meth is hard to come by in many areas and the quality varies significantly. With MDVP-containing bath salts entering the market, many meth producers began cutting their meth with bath salt or even trying to sell bath salt as meth, since both produce a somewhat similar high.

Absorption of alcohol into the bloodstream can have a major effect on the anabolic steroid user. As a rule alcohol breaks down solids such as tissues and compounds. The anabolic steroid molecule is transformed from a testosterone molecule to an estrogen. Estrogen quickly aromatizes in the system and speeds along some of the most feared side effects of steroid use. Increased mood swings, gynomastia( aka man boobs), and severley shrunken testicles can all result from the use of these two substances. In addition oral ananbolic steroids are activated through the first pass throught the human liver, then filtered through the blood stream to nourish the muscular tissue. this breaking down process is roughly equivalent to consuming a 6 pack of light beer first thing in the morning, daily, on your liver. If you then drink a six pack or what ever later you are seroiously taxing your liver.

I took one sunday morning thinking it would get me out of my tired sluggish sickly feeling. Instead it made my mind confused and buzzing, and my eyes painfully tired.

Oxycodone depresses your central nervous system and alcohol is also a CNS depressant. Taking both in small doses might be okay for the majority.

However, if you take too much, you will become drowsy, fall asleep, and you may stop breathing, which of course results in suffocation and death.
