Accidentally mixed codeine and alcohol - worried

I took 15mg of codeine for my back pain about 30 minutes ago and then not long ago had 3 mouthfuls of WKD blue. I completely forgot that I wasn't supposed to mix the 2 and now I'm panicking if it can lead to serious health risks. I've been reading all sorts about mixing them being potentially fatal.

Do you think it would be ok with it only being a low dose of codeine and not a lot of alcohol?

So you had a medium sized dose of codeine and 3 mouthfuls of blue WKD?

Well I think that's that really! Definitely go to A&E.

It also depends on if you are opiate naive. But don't drink more alcohol and monitor how you are.
The risk is sedation, drowsiness and respiratory suppression.
Either manage on simple analgesia ( paracetamol) or don't drink :)
