I'd like to add that you ought to stop drinking BEFORE you start on meds.
Especially if your doctor says the effects might be severe if you drink; don't just start on the meds and assume you'll be able to stop drinking.

(I'm on anti-anxiety/depression meds and it's not too big a deal if I have a glass of wine or something while I'm on them, but it depends on the medication. and copious amounts of alcohol aren't good with any meds. at all.)
