Any presence of these controlled substances makes you guilty.
Re: d,u.i controlled substance
It's a little difficult to imagine how you can repeatedly take these medications over a year's time and not read the warnings about no alcohol on their containers.
In your case, ignorance is no defense to an OUID charge
