Today, I found out why my doctor told me not to mix pain killers with alcohol when I was told that last night I tried to convince a group of teenage tourists that I was one of the nitwits from One Direction, and then got miffed when they laughed at me. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I realized that mixing alcohol with my medication causes me to lose my memory. I went to see my favorite band in concert last night and I can't remember a single song they played. FML
Today, after two months of being teased by my friends for getting wasted and passing out from only one shot, I learned that I wasn't actually too weak to handle the alcohol. My "friends" had secretly laced my drink with sleeping pills. They're now teasing me for believing them. FML
Today, I found out my doctors could've killed me by mixing two meds that react badly and shouldn't be mixed. I've been taking them together for a year. FML
Today, I was diagnosed with a chronic pain condition. My parents seemed very sympathetic and my mother even cried. When we got home, though, they started laughing and asked if I really believed all the shit the doctor was talking about. FML
Today, it was my friend's 18th birthday. She had invited us out drinking. I've never had alcohol before and was very excited. I got a call explaining that she had invited one too many and asked me not to come. People bragging on Facebook about what a great time they were having didn't help either. FML
Today, I woke up in hospital after a night of heavy drinking. My friends told me I was beat up by the doorman. After going to the club to watch the security footage, it was revealed I actually fell on my face trying to fight, and caused more damage to myself. FML
Today, an actual doctor told me I’ve been “passed around like a bong at a party”, referring to how many doctors have treated my MS condition. Worse yet, I responded with, “Don’t worry, I’m used to it”, without realising how that would sound. FML
Today, I had to explain to my girlfriend that taking triple the maximum dosage of painkillers won't actually triple its effects. She rolled her eyes, called me clueless, and said that I should "leave this stuff to the professionals." She's studying to become a doctor. FML
Today, I went to the hospital for crippling back pain that made it impossible to walk. The doctor was more interested in telling me off for not taking a pill that he admitted doesn't help acute pain. He then gave me an injection that wore off in an hour, and sent me home, telling me to take over the counter meds. FML
Today, my roommates told me about all the stupid and embarrassing things I did last night, none of which I remember. Drunk out of my mind? No, I just tried a new sleeping pill after weeks of insomnia. I still barely slept. FML

Why would you not listen to that advice?

Why would you think that's a good idea? Listen to your doctor next time, YDI.

Yeah you deserved that. Listen to your doctor maybe?

YDI why wouldn't you listen to your doctor... I'm a paramedic and let me tell you I have been on many calls where dumb kids mix alcohol with pain meds and end up either dying or in the hospital because mixing the two can cause heart problems and respiratory problems.

I think you got lucky that's all that happened. They warn you about it cause it could kill you.

You're an idiot, I've had to take pain medication for three years and can manage JUST fine without alcohol

I think your doctor probably told you that to prevent you from DYING... but what do I know? clearly you're a genius.

It's because pain killers are designed to account for your liver processing them. If your liver if busy processing alcohol, it can't really process the narcotics in your system. Don't try this with blood thinners, OP.

Why wouldn't you listen anyway? This is someone of the medical profession who you just ignored, giving you advice on medicine. Would you ignore a fruit vender if he told you not to shove grapefruits up your arse, and get drunk and do it anyway?

One: Why? Two: You could have killed yourself. Three: You deserved it. Four: Next time a medical professional tells you something, listen.
