What are the negative effects of taking sleeping pills with alcohol on a regular basis?

I have become concerned over my tendency to do this, primarily because the people who know I do it are concerned. I would love a doctors opinion, because I obviously can't ask my own. I take 10mg of ambien with a couple margaritas. Experience would be a welcomed source as well.

Answer:
sounds like you're becoming more tolerant to this. you might be an alcoholic.
You can die.
both are downers/depressants, so I assume some effects would be lowered heart rate and blood pressure, lower respiration rate, slower reflexes, etc. Also, each has to be filtered out of your body in some way or another, so there's that added stress on your liver and kidneys.
Oh, and alcohol dehydrates you, which could increase the effects of the sleeping pills.
Many sleeping pills are potentially addictive. Alcohol, most likely, increases the potential of becoming addictive. Not to mention the increased negative effects on the liver. I would suspect that increased depression of the CNS may make you more susceptible to blackouts and seizures. Moreover, if you were to drink too much, you may be at a greater risk of dying of alcohol poisoning or aspiration of your vomit.
The answer is short it can Kill you need I say more
Only a couple? Well then I guess you won't have any nasty reality concerns about when they find your body. Not every one looks good covered in vomitus, but what the heck - - - you'll be smashed and - oh well, there we go again.
Depressant drugs known as barbiturates, rohypno, roofies, ruffies, GHB, tranquilizers and other names are particularly dangerous when used with alcohol.
