Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Taking gravol with alcohol is not a good decision. Half a pill will do not much harm but please be caution next time.

Thank you for your response. Still a bit concerned, how do the two interact? Is it the intensifying of the drowsiness etc.?

Alohol with gravol intensifies drowsiness

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX
Thanks for writing back with an update.

Alcohol may add to the side effects of gravol (dimenhydrinate) like drowsiness and should be avoided when using this medication. It is best not to not drive or perform other hazardous tasks after you have taken gravol and alcohol.

Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubt.

Regards,
Dr.Vivek
