How long after taking hydrocodone can I have a drink?!


Question: I've been taking 2 hydrocodones per day for the last two days for dental pain, and will take my last one tomorrow morning (if I'm still in pain) and would like to go out for drinks w/ friends later in the evening. I'm afraid of mixing the two, so is that a safe amount of time between taking the pill and drinking?

if you can, try taking motrin instead of the vicodin if you're still in pain.

the medication SHOULD be out of your system by the time you want to have drinks but if it's not, the alcohol can make the side effects stronger which can cause you to feel confused,dizzy, and overly sleepy which isn't safe.

i would avoid the alcohol until you're not taking the pain killers at all anymore-it's safer that way

I also take Hydrocodone for pain, and my bottle says every 6 hours. So I would assume that means after 6 hours it's out of your system. But ask your doc first.

dont worry about it the only thing different that would happen is your drunk would feel better ive done it more times than i can count and with more than 2 and im the healthiest person i know

This type of pain medication will stay in your system for up to three days or longer. You don't give enough information to give an accurate estimation.

If your ill, why are you drinking alcohol and taking pain meds. I would consult my doctor if I were you, you could bring harm to yourself.
