Q: Atenolol And Alcohol?

I was wondering if anyone knew of bad interactions when someone who takes atenolol (a beta blocker) drinks alcohol. I don't take it for high blood pressure, I take it for a little known condition called long qt syndrome. I know that mixing prescription drugs and alcohol is bad at all times, but I just wondered if anyone knew something about this specific drug. Thanks.
