I'm not doctor but I take medication for such disease. I must say that
I drink a lot but I should not because:
if you take antipsycotic drugs like Zyprexa, drinking will make you
very tired, and not enjoy the buzz (and that's what I need). Drinking
can lead to more paranoia (in my case).
if you add drugs like benzodiazepines the liver will have a hard work
"digesting the combo".
But hey, I'm still alive so I think drinking is not a big problem if
it's a mild schizophrenia.
DIY: read all the medication documents then decide.
I think the better answer is pick up the phone and talk to a doctor
about the medication the patient is receiving and ask about alcohol.
