The effects are 'additive' if they just piggy-back on each other, or are 'synergistic' if the effect of both drugs together is greater than the sum of the effects of each of the drugs separately.

∙ 13y agoAlcohol tends to intensify the effects of many pharmecudicals. So, if you are drinking a lot of alcohol, and pop a Vicodin, you are going to dratically inscrease the drowsiness and sedative effects of the drug. Also, and this is very important to note, a lot of pain killers add acetaminophen into their products. (This includes party favorites such as Vicodin that very often is half opiate, half Tylenol.) Acetaminophen is the main ingredient to Tylenol, and has been known to put a strain on the liver. It's never advised to combine alcohol and Tylenol, an overdose can lead to a liver failure.
Alcohol is also filtered through the body, overworking the liver, so mixing these two can cause excess damage to the liver. If you DO choose to mix the two, I suggest being very cautious. You can cause severe liver damage if you take too much acetaminophen.
