Is drinking alcohol then sleeping pills really bad?
You'll be fine. Less than one beer is basically the equivalent of nothing. They say to not drink and take sleeping pills because both are Central Nervous System depressants. In high doses of both (or either) they can stop your heart or your breathing. So don't go taking like 9 pills and drinking a 30 pack or anything. You're fine. Besides, after 2 hours you've more than metabolized the entire beer, so it's like you had none.

Sleeping pills with alcohol?
Mixing both zolpidem and alcohol increase risk of death compared to using either one substance alone (ie synergy). However drinking a small amount of alcohol is rarely an issue especially if you have been taking zolpidem for some time. Also each unit of alcohol drunk is metabolized in about one hour. 1/2 litre of beer is about 1 unit of alcohol. And most information you hear about sleeping pills is just wrong. Not to mention that logically you proved the statement "mixing sleeping pills with alcohol is fatal" to be fallacious since you have done it (without dying) with other hypnotics. If you do mix alcohol with any medication, especially a hypnotic be careful. Information about alcohol units: http://www.drinkingandyou.com/site/uk/wh...

Can over the counter sleeping pills kill you if you drink alcohol after having taken them?
For Tylenol PM, the "sleeping" ingredient is the same active ingredient as in Benadryl. One or two drinks will not kill you, at least immediately. The reason Tylenol PM recommends against alcohol is probably more because of the Tylenol part of it. The active ingredient in Tylenol is acetaminophen, which has come under increased scrutiny for liver toxicity which alcohol can make even worse. If you are not suffering aches and pains, you are better off taking another OTC sleep aid or just generic Benadryl rather than taking unneeded painkillers.
