Drugs and alcohol

I've been diagnosed with Cardiomyopathy. My EF is already down to 16%.
At present I'm taking Coreg, Monopril, foremiside, Lasix, Potassium and CQ10 supplement.
My question is this:
I've seen in Brochures not to drink alcohol. Common sense YELLLS at me not to do that. However, I am curios about what the consequences are from consuming alcohol. The brochures tell you what not to do, not the why.
This question also applies to the use of Marijuana. What are the consequences, what are the good points (if any). Again, common sense indicates to keep away from it.
Like a little kid poking at something with a stick, I'm curious.
