Believe me, I’m very aware of that little interaction. Adding depressants to depressants isn’t so hot either.
In fairness, I haven’t actually run into a doctor who prescribed Vicodin to an alcoholic. I have run into doctors who prescribed Vicodin to patients already on hepatotoxic medications with an absolute contraindication to acetaminophen, though.

I have seen that. In fairness, I do not know for certain that the doctor knew the extent of the patient's alcohol use, but believe me, one look at his face and manner should have been enough to set off an alarm somewhere.

This is precisely why I get all my Rx from the same doctor and fill them all at the same pharmacist.
Too bad my Dr. is planning on retiring rather than work under ObamaCare.
