31st Party Warning: Mixing Painkillers, Antibiotics & Alcohol is a 'Time Bomb'

• Painkillers (Paracetamol, Ibuprofen) with alcohol severely strain the liver, risking toxicity, failure, or internal bleeding.
• Antibiotics (Metronidazole, Tinidazole) with alcohol reduce drug effectiveness and can cause severe 'disulfiram-like reactions' like nausea, vomiting, and heart issues.
• Combining sleeping pills or depression medication with alcohol can lead to respiratory arrest, coma, or even death due to slowed brain activity.
• A few hours gap between medicine and alcohol is insufficient as many drugs remain active for 8-24 hours.
• Prioritize health over parties; choose mocktails or fruit juices instead of alcohol if on medication this New Year's Eve.

Why It Matters: Mixing alcohol with painkillers, antibiotics, or mental health meds on 31st poses severe, life-threatening risks.
