There are some people that have chosen alcohol along with their medication to help them cope with pain. The problem with this choice is that both the medication and the alcohol, combined cause both parties to increase their effect rendering this combination potentially dangerous and/or deadly.

There are other therapies available that are medication free that one can explore.
