What is the problem with Zyban (for smokers) and alcohol?My husband has been on Zyban for a few weeks now and the warning label warns against taking it with alcohol because of possible seizures or something like that. Well, DH went and drank some this weekend anyway and nothing happened to him so I was just wondering what exactly can happen and after how much drink (beer, hard alchohol differences).

People also have been experiencing serious blackouts with Zyban, during which they become violent. Zyban was originally marketed as an antidepressant. Generally, with mood-altering drugs like this, it's safest to only drink one or two drinks at most per week. This differs based on your own alcohol tolerance, how often you drink, and similar factors. Drugs like this also can decrease your tolerance to half or less.
Not to mention, just because nothing happened doesn't mean that it's safe to keep doing that. He could have just been lucky-- or there could be another issue going on that simply wasn't immediately obvious.
It would make sense that it would have to do with the same "drink" standards-- i.e., one beer, glass of wine, or shot equals one "drink".
