Bill Clinton has said Americans are not aware enough of the dangers related to mixing alcohol with opioids.
The former US president said schoolchildren were not being warned of the risks.
Speaking after he delivered a keynote speech at the World Patient Safety Summit in London, Mr Clinton encouraged those part of the movement to continue in their work.
He said: “One friend of mine had a daughter having trouble with her marriage. He was desperate, he called her every day.”
Mr Clinton added: “He couldn’t find her and the police went into her apartment and found her sitting there, watching television, stone dead with a glass of wine in front of her.”
Speaking of America’s opioid crisis, he continued: “It has been a problem for a decade or more in America and nobody tells these kids when they go to school that you can die if you do this.
“You cannot mix these two things.”

Or women and cigars.
WHAT? I’m not supposed to wash down my oxycontin with a highball? Well THAT explains a few things...
And if there is one thing the Mena Clintons know, it’s dope.
Well we better get #Resistance and #MeToo on this right away.
Well, let’s just add that to the school curriculum, right after condom use and diversity celebrations!
We’ll have to drop some MORE of the math studies, but who cares about that?
Yes, it could lead to rape and/or the abuse of women. The use of ice was discussed as well.
It is not that they don't know. It is that the mix gives them a better buzz. Or maybe it is because they can't read.
He’s got a nose like a vacuum cleaner.
Is there room for #BringBackOurGirls, too? It must fit here somehow. That was a smash hit!
I imagine that he would know this....
I’m sure that’s a true story he’s telling. Meanwhile, Americans were taught by Bad Company about the dangers of drugs and alcohol forty years ago.
Johnny died one night, he died in his bed
Bottle of whiskey, sleeping tablets by his head
I’ll bet he could tell some stories, LOL!
Paging Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Clinton...
I've seen warnings about that since I was a kid, 60 years ago.
He means in contrast to his wife, who knows the PLEASURES of mixing drugs and alcohol!
Oh Bill, indoctrinate... err enlighten us. Please! (You old fraud)
Just taking drugs is okay then?
