Is it bad to mix alcohol with sleeping tablets ?
No, unfortunately it is GOOD to mix sleeping tablets with alcohol. I did it for years after my divorce. But you are playing with fire because sooner or later, your health will suffer… -that’s if you don’t drown in your own vomit first. Alcohol does not help you to sleep. All that happens is that by approximately 03:17 am, your body has metabolised all the alcohol and it wakens you up because it wants MORE. Usually people who say they haven’t slept a wink have, in fact been in a very light sleep. If your mother is elderly it’s unlikely that she will ever change her habits now. But she shouldn’t mix alcohol with sleeping tablets, it’s a recipe for disaster.
