And could have landed you sleeping for months and years, as in dead.
Please, folks, don't mix sleeping pills and alcohol. You could get
lucky as Michael did. You could wind up dead. Read the package
instructions on over-the-counter meds and check with the pharmacist to
be sure. Alcohol is generally O.K. mixed with aspirin and NSAIDs,
generally not O.K. mixed with sleeping pills, tranquilizers or anything
that could classified as a "down."
