Opioids Hydrocodone, Beer, and CWE

[brokeshoulder]

Hello all. New here. I have a prescription for 325/10 Norcos. For a while now I have been taking about three and drinking 2 or 3 beers with the pills as a way to relax and sleep while dealing with shoulder pain. Recently I have become concerned with the APAP and worried about liver or kindey damage. Are 3 to 4 hydros worth doing a CWE if I'm going to drink a couple of beers with it? Or is that not enough APAP to worry about? I have done two CWEs and I suppose I'm losing a lot of opiate as the effects aren't as much as just taking the pills straight. However, I don't want to do anymore damage to my liver than I may have already done.

Again, should I mess with CWE with only 3 325/10 hydros along with 2 to 3 beers?

My wife has been laughing at my "drug lab" while a bumble through the CWE process. The first time I dumped about half the crushed pills on the stove instead of into the cup of water. She thinks I'm wasting pills.

Thanks for any replies!

What is the rx for? Chronic pain or other?

Be smart, take as directed, and avoid the beer. You could wind up in the ER easily if you don't have a tolerance. Besides, if you really don't have a tolerance, be careful so that you don't pick up a habit, it's easy.

"Posts like this" what the hell? I guess you better not read other posts on here that talk about all kinds of drug abuse.
I guess you didn't read my post. Without the hydros and a little beer my shoulder hurts too much to sleep well. And I don't want to up the dosage of hydro a whole lot. I've been on it for over a year due to a failed shoulder surgery/ bicep tear. I'm just wanting to take a little hydro and a couple of beers to ease pain and "relax" so my shoulder doesn't keep my up all night until I can save enough money for another surgery.
