Big difference, possibly - if I drink I know from previous experience that I'm likely to eventually get drunk and that might lead to some of the usual things associated with drinking too much,. Therefore I don't really have any defence or mitigation saying "It was the alcohol that caused it". Personally, I have no idea what effect Ambien would have on me or if these are worse if it is mixed with alcohol or taken at altitude.
