What is more dangerous alcohol or drugs?
Many drugs are dangerous in combination with alcohol, because they can have unexpected interactions.But some of the most dangerous drugs are barbiturates and other depressants.

In extreme cases, this can even cause the heart to slow to the point of stopping, leading to death.
