Zyban and drinking

I was told drinking and Zyban was not a good idea. I have to quite smoking for health reasons but I don't want to quite drinking. I drink a good bit but I'm not an alcoholic. I'm wondering if it is o.k to drink 10-15 drinks in a night and also be taking Zyban?

The mixing of alcohol and Wellbutrin and Zyban (exact same drugs used for different things) is a big, big, no-no. I tried Zyban, and it worked for me. But, I was told that even 1-2 drinks can cause significant seizures. I'd advise you to quit drinking long enough to take the Zyban, or use a nicotine patch if you have to drink. Please, don't combine the two.
