Medication and alcohol usually do not mix well. The combination is basically toxic, like a poison. People can die from this, but usually don't. What usually happens is you end up in the hospital. They have to pump your stomach and you'll end up with serious kidney problems for life. Some people try to commit suicide this way and seriously regret it..they end up waking up in the hospital under full watch with a fried kidney and are subject to years of therapy. As long as you don't take your meds and drink at the same time, you'll be okay. Make time in between..Take your pills in the morning and drink at night.

Well, as with most medications, side effects are unknown. Chances are you will not die if you drink alcohol.
Warnings like that usually mean that the chemicals in the alcohol can mess up the chemicals in the medicine. Or it may go bad in your stomach, making you nauseous.
People are very different though, so who knows what it could do to you. Once again though, I highly doubt you will die.
