The #1 issue my docs had with alcohol when I was on meds is that the meds I was taking, Depakote and Risperdal, were metabolized through the liver. Since alcohol is also metabolized through the liver, mixing the two didnt allow the meds to be metabolized at the proper rate and my liver was all the time doing double duty. This increased the risk for liver damage and failure dramatically.

So I did the most logical thing in my mind and quit taking the meds. lol
