I'm on 600mg Quitipaine (100mg below the maximum legal dose here in the UK) and I made the mistake of drinking pretty much every day. The toxicity of the meds mixed with the alcohol did take it's toll on me, and I have been warned if I carry on drinking I may cause bad enough scarring to require a transplant.

That's not to say I still don't enjoy a bottle of Hobgoblin ale (or 8 or 9) every now and then.

But yeah. Drinking with bipolar full stop can cause a lot of problems: including triggering episodes. It's the same with consuming large amounts of caffeine with bipolar or staying up all night: both can trigger full-blown manic episodes.
