Taking two depressants such as a sleeping pill along with alcohol can result in dangerous and potentially life-threatening side effects. These can include increased drowsiness, confusion, impaired coordination and judgment, respiratory depression, slowed heart rate, and even coma or death. Mixing alcohol with sleeping pills can also increase the risk of overdose and lead to a higher potential for accidents and injuries. It is important to always consult with a healthcare professional before combining medications or alcohol.
