I wonder -- and I truly do not know -- if we haven't drank a lot, if we are better of not taking some meds or cutting back in the dose, or taking them?

I have repeatedly heard adamant advice about certain meds and never messing with them by not taking them or by drastically cutting the dose all of a sudden.

It's an important point, thanks for bringing it up.
Bizi has also commented on this.

I see where some literatures says alcohol just increases side-effects of certain meds. Yet, we also hear about these famous people who take a few meds, mix them with alcohol and then they suddenly, unexpectedly "expire" in their sleep.

I guess this is a point I will clarify with my doctor and pharmacists.

On one hand, it's better to be safe than sorry. On the other, does it create another huge blow to the body/mind to suddenly be totally missing meds?

I honestly do not know.
