Is Alcohol Consumption Advisable While On Tramadol?

Yes I was wondering, if you are prescribed Tramadol for moderate to severe pain relief but also drink alcohol with it what kind of effects can you expect? Tramadol already on its own alters chemical brain activity but could mixing the two cause you to do things you wouldn t normally do or that you know is wrong
