I think this is up to the individual and also the medications. Part of my severe crisis was feeling like Amy Winehouse at times yet normally I have a lower than usual tolerance. Now I am diagnosed and on treatment on around 4 occasions I have had problems but more behaviour following mood (bad bad bad mixed states, you will take anything to kill them) and alcohol can be like playing Russian Roulette with 5 bullets in the barrel. As I get to recognise warning signs I steer clear an otherwise imbibe a bit socially.
