I was wondering how many people drink while on meds. I know I do, but I don't get smashed or anything. Just buzzed to a little drunk. I know I shouldn't, but I wanted to see if anybody else does.

I do on very rare occasions. I find that when I drink I can really feel the alcohol reacting with the drugs in my system in an unpleasant way. So, for the most part I try to stay away from drinking except when I'm really feeling froggy lol.

I used to, until I realized I was becoming my parents. I really shouldn't have been drinking. Mixing alcohol with psychotropics can be dangerous. Sometimes I still miss it. Have been looking for recipes to use the alcohol my parents left behind. My mom raised me to not waste stuff.

Often, but only when I'm home or don't have to drive. Vodka and beer

Very rarely and only when I'm feeling desperate to change my mood immediately. I had hoped alcohol would be a substitute for the benzos I was forced off of but unfortunately it doesn't work the same at all. It makes me desperately exhausted.
