beer makes it work better

I was just thinking about some of the crazy warnings on drugs. Some of these must be for really slow people. What made me think about it was the other day when my back was hurting. It was really bad, I must have slept wrong, (how the heck do you sleep wrong, seems like you'd be awake if you were sleeping wrong???). I asked my wife if she still had some good drugs left over from when she had surgery. She said she did and offered to get them for me. When she brought them to me, she asked if I needed anything to wash them down with, I said yea, how about a beer. She quickly informed me that those drugs were not to be taken with alcohol and that I should read the label. Being the smart-ass that I am, I read the label and told her that it said alcohol could intensify the effects, the effects being pain relief and drowsiness. Why would I not want these effects intensified? Looks to me like it should say "Alcohol may make this medication work better." The rest of the warning was about driving and operating heavy machinery, what sane/drowsy/drunk person would go for a drive after taking that? If they would, do you think the warning would stop them? I think these warnings are for idiots and idiots aint gonna do right anyway. Here's some others:

Viagra: "may cause sudden hearing loss"   let's see, if I want to take Viagra for the reason it's intended, you think I'm gonna worry about sudden hearing loss?

Birth Control Pills: "will not lessen/prevent risk of a STD"   I hate to tell you but if you think birth control pills will stop you from getting AIDs, a pill you have to remember to take everyday aint the route you should take for birth control.

Zoloft: "increased risk of suicide"   You take it for depression/anxiety, ya'think that could increase the risk?

Zicam: "product liked to sudden loss of smell"   Squirt zinc up your nose and you might lose your sense of smell. That don't really surprise  me.

Ambien: "may cause sleep driving"   now that scares the hell outta me. If I have to take Ambien, I'll definitely  line up a designated driver or hide my keys from myself.

If drugs have to have all those warnings, don't you think bottled water should say "May cause drowning".
