what kind of "cold" pills? is it over the counter type shit for just like a regular cold, like cough syrup, or is it like anti-biotics? if it's just normal over the counter cough medicine then who gives a fuck, and drink. the only reason it says not to drink with that is becuase u get more fucked up, so it's best not to drink too much. If its anti-biotics ur not suppose to drink with those becuase it makes them less effective, so if u drink while on them u could be sick for longer.
