Imatinib and alcohol

I have never been more than a social drinker, almost always beer or wine.  Now I have a glass of wine or a beer maybe once a week, but the alcohol effects feel like I have had many.  I get really sleepy.   Does imatinib amplify the effects of alcohol?

I can't think of any particular reason why that might be. Low blood counts wouldn't really impact your blood alcohol concentration - that is blood volume, rather than content.
