Working in a pharmacy, I can tell you for a fact that a staggering percentage of people have NO fucking clue what's going on with medicine, and don't bother to ask. This is not an excuse, it's a further display of general stupidity. You wanna know how many people drive over to my pharmacy drive-through window after just being discharged from the hospital, doped out of their damn minds on pain meds, and then drive themselves home? The number would scare you.
I have people regularly complaining that the pain pills they're taking put them to sleep, only to find out they're chasing percocets and vicodins (pain meds) with alcohol. Well gee, no shit you could pass out if you mix the two. I have people all the time asking if there are any interactions with alcohol and antibiotics... so you're sick enough to need antibiotics, and you're curious about whether or not you can drink? Just get better first! I mean damn, it's only a 6-day course!
