I was wondering what the cause might be. During my long life, I was prescribed painkillers at several times. I almost never took them because they warned not to take them with alcohol.

I preferred the alcohol. So I left the painkillers in the medicine cabinet and sipped on my wine or beer.

For better, or for worse.

Yep...for family member’s who’ve recently had surgery....I’ve strongly recommended/insisted no pain meds after 2 days home. Switch to Advil/tylenol, etc. Or...wine....if necessary “-)

I’m with you (raises glass) plus opioids don’t work right for me.

Another senseless death due to addictive prescription painkillers-what a shame.

I never take any drugs-even Advil/Tylenol OTC is only for stitches or dental surgery, etc and for a day or so only. I more often have the glass or two of wine rather than any OTC, though-never have taken any prescription drugs, and will not unless my demise is imminent and I want to check out quietly.
