Answer 1

Man i remember back in the day we wouldn't touch the stuff unless we drank haha.

It won't kill you. 1, 3 hours ago you'll be fine.

Answer 2

lortab (aka Hydrocodone and Vicodin) 10/500 is a relatively strong dose (as opposed to 5 or 7.5 mg) it takes 4-6 hours for your liver to remove it, so I wouldn't drink until at least 4 hours later, but since it is a higher dose, I would wait at least 6.

Answer 3

If you mix Lortab and Alcohol you are inviting trouble.  The Lortab is a depressant, and is going to make you sleepy.  Add to that the alcohol and you could possibly go into respiratory arrest.
