Ok I am going to be straight up honest with the situation here... I am currently taking 10 mg of Lisinopril for high blood pressure. My blood pressure recently has been normal so I don't even know if I need to be taking it anymore. Anyhow, I am in college and we have a big tailgate before the football game tomorrow and I am planning on drinking a lot of alcohol. My question is is that is it dangerous for me to drink alcohol like that before I take my lisinopril (which I usually take around lunchtime). Will I be ok if I drink a lot in the morning and then just take the lisinopril later on in the day? PLEASE HELP because I am worried about this! Thanks!
