When you mix a mass noun with a plural, do you use "much" or "many"? I haven't been able to find any information about this.

Best Answer

If you wanted to take the preferred grammatical form, I would go with WS2's answer:

Too many pills and too much liquor.

However, as Barmar mentions in the comments, pills and liquor can be informally used as one big non-quantitative noun, and therefore much would be the correct word to use:

Too much pills and liquor.
