This is the same effect as Trazodone and alcohol.You're probably a bit sensitive to Seroquel and alcohol -- I have drunk on it but I don't drink any more. It really isn't recommended actually, but I won't go into a debate about a legal intoxicant.
The alcohol potentiates orthostatic hypotension (low blood pressure), and CNS depression.
