Why is it usually so dangerous to mix prescription medication and alcohol?
In: Biology
The liver is the main organ in the body that processes and breaks down chemicals. Alcohol is processed in the liver and so are many medications.
Consuming alcohol along with medications might cause the liver to become “overloaded” slowing down the processing and break down of the medicines. In some cases, this might lead to overdose because the medicines aren’t broken down fast enough.
