I'm turning 21 this year, and of course, I am planning on drinking. However, my medications make me want to fall asleep only two hours after I start drinking. That's not fun at all, and certainly not the game plan for my 21st birthday. I'm not a crazy drinker, but I at least want to have fun and not fall asleep before the party even starts. I don't want to be ****faced wasted, just a happy drunk.

I know it's not safe to quit meds cold turkey, but is there a way to get around the drowsiness? Any way to ease off the meds temporarily? I was thinking of drinking a Redline, which is one of the most powerful energy drinks, and normally it is supposed to be bad while drinking alcohol because it will keep you up, but that's kind of the point of taking it to keep me awake long enough to enjoy being 21 and being drunk.

What would you suggest to be a safe way to drink alcohol with my condition? And how could I stay awake?
