Read the label, it might save a life.
On the morning after Julie Ann Bronson added two Ambien sleep pills to a stomach full of wine and crawled into bed, she awoke shivering on the cold concrete floor of a jail cell — barefoot, still in her sleep clothes, her ankles cuffed, and completely confused and terrified, she said…“A lady told me I’d assaulted a woman and a child,” Bronson said, explaining that she took that to mean she’d somehow been in a fight. “I’d never hit anyone in my life. It was surreal. It was like a bad dream.”
Bronson, 45, who pleaded guilty to the felonies at the outset of her trial last week, could face up to 10 years in prison. She has asked for probation, and jurors are expected to begin deliberating today.
While acknowledging that she drank five to six glasses of wine while home alone that afternoon and had a blood alcohol level that at one point probably neared three times the legal limit for driving, Bronson said she never consciously got into her Mercedes convertible after going to bed early at around 7 p.m.
Ambien is a dangerous drug as it has a tendency to have people be active while in a sleep state. To throw alcohol into the mix is nothing but pure foolishness. I know some people who have severe sleep issues who swear by the drug, but wise people use a strong amount of caution while using it.
Of course all of this is on the drug advisory, but people are free to be as stupid as they want.
We must ban stupidity!

No body calls for a person to be banned from medicine the rest of their lives after an incident like this.
No one calls for a person to lose their license to drive or even be in a vehicle after a case like this.
Yet let a person make a bad call with firearms and millions of people call for that person to lose their right to keep and bear arms.
The level of hypocrisy is absolutely amazing.
