yea sometimes meds and alcohol have this side effect of "black outs" and theres nothing she can do about it other than not drinking while on meds.

a bit of info that may help...

black outs from meds and alcohol are a type of physical amnesia, the alcohol and meds combo makes it impossible for the brain to do the normal forming of memories....

think of this like your computer. you type something in but if the wiring is blocked that something doesnt stay stored it automatically deletes instead.

the combination of alcohol and medications does that, it stops the memories from getting stored and deletes them. when this happens the memory is all gone, there is no way to retrieve or undelete. its gone.

my suggestion is not to drink while taking medications. that way she will not have to worry about having alcohol medication black outs.
