When it comes to alcohol consumption for someone with Parkinson's Disease (PD) who is taking Carbidopa/Levodopa, there are several important considerations:

- Consult Your Doctor: Always ask your doctor about drinking alcohol while taking your medications.
- Moderation: Both caffeine and alcohol can encourage dehydration and low blood pressure, so they should be consumed moderately.
- Side Effects: Alcohol can intensify the side effects of many Parkinson’s drugs, including dizziness and drowsiness.

Given these points, it's crucial to discuss with your healthcare provider to determine what is safe for your husband.
