When the patient information leaflet
http://www.medicines....true&documentid=18141
only offers general advice against consuming alcohol (rather than providing dire warnings) it's probably a safe bet that the manufacturer is simply trying to 'cover all the bases' (to use a horrid American phrase!).
My friend once mentioned to his doctor that one of the things he hated about the antihistamines he was taking for hay fever was that the leaflet told him not to consume alcohol (and, of course, to stick to the stated dose of just one tablet). His doctor (who was also my doctor, and definitely 'of the old school') simply said "Stuff that. Do what I do last thing every night. I take 3 or 4 tablets with an EXTREMELY large whisky. It works every time!" ;-)
