Many drugs are never to be mixed with alcohol because of effects that can occur from mixing the two. Alcohol can increase the effects of many drugs. Alcohol is a depressant drug. When mixed with antidepressants harmful things could occur. It's my understanding that alcohol should never be used while a person is taking antidepressants. I've seen friends of mine, who thought they were "only drinking a small amount" while on antidepressants, end up in the emergency room because they wouldn't wake up. Also, since alcohol is a depressant, it will only increase the depressive mental state someone is already in-----may not seem like it at first, but it makes sense. I think that's why you're not supposed to mix the two.
