Answer

Alcohol will increase the central nervous system side effects of hydrocodone (i.e. drowsiness, dizziness, etc), which is dangerous. Most people taking hydrocodone will have a formulation with acetaminophen (Tylenol). Drinking alcohol with anything with Tylenol in it will increase the chances of irreversible liver damage.
