What are the realistic and inevitable dangers of mixing alcohol and oxy? Does the dosage or amount /type of alcohol make a difference ?
 
Yes the dosage does have a huge effect on this combination. The type of alcohol really doesn't matter as much as how much your drinking of it , for example a bottle of beer would be better than a bottle of wine etc.

Just copied this
The central nervous system controls much of the body, including vital activities such as breathing and keeping the heart beating. Depression describes unusually low activity in the CNS, or central nervous system.

Definition
CNS depression, or central nervous system depression, is defined as decreased neurological activity in the central nervous system, which is made up of the brain and spinal cord.

Causes
CNS depression is typically caused by taking drugs known as CNS depressants. Examples of these compounds, the National Institute on Drug Abuse explains, include barbiturates, alcohol and benzodiazepines.

Autonomic Effects
One part of the CNS is the autonomic nervous system, which controls involuntary actions such as breathing and the heart beat. As a result, one effect of CNS depression, is a slowing of heart rate and breathing.

Other Effects
CNS depression can also affect other functions of the brain, resulting in problems with thinking and perception, movement and speech, Organized Wisdom explains.

Complications
The main complication of CNS depression is that severe depression can cause patients to slip into a fatal coma. This most commonly occurs when two or more CNS depressants are used in combination.
 
Dangerous combo I had a friend die from alcohol and opiate induced sleep apnea which essentially while sleeping your body forgets to breath and you don't wake up.

Alcohol is the single most dangerous drug to mix with any other drugs( and it's legal,go figure)!
