There a few issues involved in your situation that relate to drinking alcohol.First, alcohol can raise your blood sugar, which may be problematic since you are diabetic. As long as you limit your intake to 1 or 2 servings, this probably won't be a serious problem.Secondly, celecoxib is an NSAID (the same class of drugs as aspirin, ibuprofen, etc.) On their own NSAIDs can cause irritation to the lining the of the stomach - for example, elderly people experiencing stomach bleeds while on chronic aspirin therapy. Alcohol is also irritating to the lining of the stomach. When you combine the two, you increase your risk for developing complications.Thirdly, tramadol is a medication that causes CNS depression, with symptoms such as drowsiness, confusion, and impaired coordination. Alcohol is also a CNS depressant, so in this case as well it can increase the risk of complications with the tramadol.While none of these are reasons to completely avoid alcohol, they put you in the situation of needing to be especially cautious if you do choose to drink.It's always a good idea for you physician and your pharmacist to know all the medications you are taking. This helps to prevent dangerous drug interactions and complications.

Your I.Q. would drop even further than it is now.

There is a substantial amount of research indicating that interaction between tramadol and celecoxib is likely----the implication being that they should not be taken together.Neither should be taken with alcohol.
