In the interest of harm reduction, I should point out that alcohol and opiates can be a dangerous combination. The alcohol potentiates the opiate respiratory depression, and also takes up valuable liver resources. Energy spent breaking down the booze is not being spent breaking down the opiate. And when you're taking a hydrocodone/APAP combination, your liver is also getting hit with an influx of acetaminophen.
How much hydrocodone (in what formulation) are we talking about and how much alcohol do you plan to drink?
